You Know You Have Baby Fever When...
ytimg.com

My cousin Eric got married in July, and he and his wife Dora announced the week after that they're expecting a baby! I've been so excited, but it was when they revealed that they are expecting a girl that my excitement peaked--big time! The baby is going to be here in about two months, and this realization has made me super pumped.

As I write this article while also looking at baby clothes (multitasking for the win!), I realize that most people get a case of baby fever at some point in their life. It could happen with the first baby in the family, or after several have been born. It can happen at any age; you can be the little kid sister who's excited to get another sibling, the soon-to-be new parents, or the great-grandparents who are ready to spoil a new generation of kids. What better way to explain what baby fever is to those who don't understand it through visuals; more specifically, GIFS!!

1. Every time you see a baby you automatically become happy and run over to play with them.

2. When almost every day is spent looking at baby clothes and having these types of reactions when you find something cute.

3. So. Much. Online. Shopping.

4. Then you actually go into a store and freak out over all the cute things you see and want for the baby. If someone is with you, they will probably say...

5. When it takes everything in you NOT to look in the baby section while you are shopping and on a tight schedule.

It's going to be painful, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

6. Ultimately, this makes you think about when you have a baby. You might be excited, but your partner on the other hand...

7. You begin to think of all the names you want for a boy and a girl.

8. Then you find yourself at Pinterest looking at all the cute nursery decorations.

9. When you walk into the baby shower and see all the decorations, party favors, and treats.

10. How you behave when the baby is almost due to when the baby actually arrives.

And I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so excited to become an aunt. These next couple of weeks are going to fly by and I can't wait to finally meet her. January please come quick!

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?

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!)
