Let The Breakups Begin: Late February Is #AntiCuffing Season

It's not you, it's the season.

Let The Breakups Begin: Late February Is #AntiCuffing Season
Tumblr

It seems like when mid to late February rolls around everyone is breaking up because it’s the start of anti-cuffing season.

It's finally after all of the holiday parties and New Year’s when your significant other doesn’t feel so bad if your relationship ends because school is now back in session and he/she wants to rejoin all of their single friends. No more cozying up by the fire, and making hot cocoa on a cold winter night. The warmer weather really makes your significant other put into perspective how much they miss being single and not worrying about anyone except themselves. The season seems to last until about May which is after spring break, but right before summer so then you will be able to do cute activities with your new bae. Spring break is a prime time to find a new bae for summer with all the beach parties and late night partying. You are bound to run into a new hottie just before you get back to school.

Now, I am not saying this happens to everyone, but being in a sorority with about a hundred members I see a lot of relationships blossom and fade away in the blink of an eye. Looking at your own life, I am sure you could name a few friends who are going through a breakup or are just getting over one. It never seems to fail that, around late February, people are breaking up left and right. Before I know it, I feel like I can get my Doctorate in Psychology for the dozens and dozens of therapy sessions I’ve held in my room for all of my friends. I’m sure we have all received a text or two from a friend asking why their boyfriend/girlfriend is acting so distant lately. No one has all the answers, some relationships just come to an end, but that doesn’t mean better things can’t fall together.

So go talk to that cute guy in your physics class or say “hi” to the hottie in line at Starbucks. You never know who you can meet and where you will meet them. There are so many people in this world that you haven’t even met yet. Life is full of amazing and wonderful surprises, so just move on to the next one.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
