How To Avoid Homework At All Costs

With Thanksgiving break just around the corner, there's not much on my mind other than apple pie and being at home with my family. I feel like a lot of people are in this same slump where they've run out of energy to do anything and everything school related. Finals are way far out on the horizon. Morale is low. Energy is almost nonexistent. That being said, there are plenty of ways to spend your time besides doing homework or studying.

1. Go for run.

OK, OK, this might be a little aggressive for some, but even a brisk walk could work. Just get outside and enjoy the fresh fall air.

2. Bake something.

Before baking though, spend some time on Pinterest searching for the most exotic type of chocolate chip cookie you can find. Then go to the grocery store and take your time there before actually starting the baking process. And maybe, just maybe, you can eat your freshly baked good while doing a little homework.

3. Watch some Netflix.

One of my favorite things to do is rewarding myself with an episode of my favorite shows on Netflix. This can be anything from One Tree Hill to Bob's Burgers (personally I opt for the 43 minute episodes because it means less time studying).

4. Shop online.

Now is a great time to peruse all 51,826 articles of clothing online at Forever 21.

5. Make a Christmas list.

If you don't feel like spending money of your own, create a Christmas list that you can send to your mom, dad, grandma and anyone else you can think of. You can easily spend a solid afternoon on this task alone, and the sky's the limit.

6. Take a Buzzfeed quiz.

There are so many things you may not even know about yourself until you take those fun quizzes on Buzzfeed. Which Jonas brother is your spirit animal? What type of Starbucks drink are you based off your Zodiac sign? How old are you according to your favorite type of cheese?

7. Write an Odyssey article.

Yes actually while I'm writing this I should really be working on my English presentation, studying for a Spanish test and reading for my law class.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
