Being an adult can be so boring. People become so afraid of being judged by others that they can't even find a way to relax and have a good time. Staying young at heart is so important and can lead to a happier and healthier life. It may be hard as you grow up and life becomes more serious, but that doesn't mean there is no time for fun.

1. Always stay goofy

Don't be afraid to let your inner goofball out, people who are serious all the time are too boring.

2. Go on an adventure

Don't just sit around, find something fun that you normally wouldnt do.

3. Don't worry about what other's think

Kids never worry if someone thinks they're weird, they just do what they want.

4. Go to the theaters and see a kids movie

The feeling of excitement that you felt walking into the movies with you parents as a child will never subside. Personally I suggest Finding Dory and Secret Life of Pets.

5. Never forget about the things you loved as a child

Play a game you used to love. Harry Potter just seems impossible to grow out of.

6. Don't be afraid to get excited over little things

If you're excited about something, don't just bottle it up just because you don't think anyone cares, express your feelings.

7. Use your imagination

Try to walk down the street without steeping on any cracks.

8. Be Optimistic

Most kids never focus on the negatives in their lives which keeps them so happy and positive.

9. Order off the kids menu

Color an amazing picture with the crayons while eating your chicken nuggets.

10. Have a dance party

Listen to old music and dance around like a crazy person.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
