I think everyone can agree that college is a fun yet extremely stressful time. We have to worry about tough academics as well as gearing up for our careers and also finding time to take care of our physical and mental health. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to take a break and let ourselves unwind. So, here are times college kids just need a McDonald's fries run.

1. When that one kid in the group project isn't pulling their weight

We all know these people. The ones who chill with their phone while you and the rest of the group scramble to get your work done. They offer no help at all and leave you and your team to figure everything out yourself. Sometimes there are more than one of these people in your group and, sometimes, they're all like this and you need to fend for yourself. During times like these, a McDonald's run will do you good.

2. When that one professor sounds like they are speaking a different language

Sometimes you can leave a lecture feeling like your professor just spoke in klingon for an hour. This would be a great time to head on over to the golden arches.

3. When you have early morning classes

Nothing like an after-class treat of delicious, golden fries to wake you up after taking class when it's still dark out.

4. When you're applying for internships

Is there anything more stressful than thinking about your future career? Sitting down to fill out applications with fries by your side will make it less painful, I promise.

5. When you have to do an interview

To celebrate being a winner and a legit adult.

6. When you have to give a speech

Public speaking is the #1 fear in the U.S., even ahead of a fear of death. So, this wouldn't be a bad time for a cheat meal.

7. When the people living above you sound like they're raising a herd of elephants

Seriously, what could they be doing up there that makes their footsteps so dang loud?

8. When you just can't sleep

Whether you're stressing about the next day or just can't get comfortable in that twin bed of yours, some fries might be just the midnight snack you need.

9. When you have to read that one really boring textbook

There's always that one class that has extremely boring reading, and you need to mentally psych yourself up every time you sit down to study. Sitting down with some fries is sure to help.

10. When you have the dorm/apartment to yourself

It is always important to have some alone time. What other way to celebrate than treating yourself??

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.
