Thank You Letter To Arts Fest

Dear arts fest, thank you.

1. Thank you for allowing me back to my favorite place.

By the middle of the summer, I am planning trips to go visit all the friends I miss so much. I am busy with summer classes, an internship, and a real job. However, I am in a deep need to get back to my happy place.

2. Thank you for blowing up my Instagram.

Shout out to all the people who travel every year for the Festival of the Arts. We enjoy our time together, we meet new friends, we reunite with old ones, and we take more pictures in one weekend than we do in an entire summer. There is nothing better than waking up from a nap after a long day and seeing all your favorite people in one place again.

3. Thank you for bringing me back together with my favorite people.

They say the friends you meet in college last you a lifetime. I would have to agree with that statement. The friends you can't wait to see during this weekend are the friends who will be there forever. However many miles away they live, you all come together for one memorable weekend in the summer.

4. Thank you for letting me pretend I am a summer session freshman again.

Thinking that I don't have that much longer at this amazing university is astonishing. I feel like I should be moving into my freshman dorm, rather than my junior year apartment. Walking down the streets in the summer and going to apartments for fun let me pretend the real world is farther away than it is.

5. Thank you for draining my bank account.

Arts fest is no inexpensive feat. The car, the parking tickets, the gas, the snacks, the beverages, and the occasional uber all add up. You think it is a weekend filled with fun at no expense. However, the lack of parking leads to a ticket, the food is costly because order up is the only thing you used, the beverages are always in demand, and the Uber surcharge is exorbitant. Despite it all though, it is worth it.

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!)
