Holiday Cheer Is Almost Here

The best time of the year

Holiday Cheer Is Almost Here
Wall Paper Safari

Well, now Thanksgiving break is here and all of us students are beyond thrilled to eat our favorite dishes that Mom cooks. Not even that, but now we can finally sleep for more than 5 hours a night and don't have to spend half the night studying our lives away. We get to spend time with our families and our best friends from our hometown for the first time since August. All of us know this break is going to go by too quickly and before we know it we're gonna be back to pulling those all nighters and living on caffeine.

Although this is all true, after Thanksgiving break we only have about 3 weeks until the best time of the year arrives. CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is not only the best holiday of the year, but definitely just the best time of the year as well. The first day of December is the start of happy spirits and good vibes for sure. About a week later many of us students will be stressing over final exams and what not, but still the whole month of December is happiness for everyone.

So, everyone has just got to try and hang in there. This is a stressful time for all of us because even though we have a break from school, we are constantly thinking about the school work we should be doing and we just can't help it.

The holiday season is finally here and all we want to do is eat Christmas cookies, open presents, and hangout by the fire place. Pretty soon we will all be able to do this, we just have to get through the rest of the semester which all we can.

All of our college friends are in the same boat, so we can celebrate the holiday cheer with them as well. While studying for finals everyone should take some time to enjoy December and the holiday cheer. Make holiday cookies with your roommates. Do a secret santa with your girlfriends. We can all find some fun in the midst of the very awful end of semester work.

It's just a reminder to enjoy the breaks and times with friends and family at home. We will all get through finals and will still enjoy the holidays.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
