Summertime is really around the corner!!! And it is time for cookouts, happy times and hanging with friends!!! There is no time like the present, and these are the "signs of the times," in my Harry Styles voice. But they are also things that I am not looking forward to this summer, that surely be present.

1. The weather

The weather is setting up to be brutal. I walked outside today for only 5 minutes and heat and humidity just hit my face. You have to squint your eyes like an elderly person as you make your way to your car, or gathering. The sun is unforgiven and we have to bare it. But I would not want it any other way. I would rather it be 105 degrees with the blazing sun, sweating bullets, than to be 28 degrees and be shivering to death.

2. The sweat

The sweat will be a constant this summer and every summer as you all live your lives. People will come outside for 10 minutes and come back drenched in their pool of bodily fluids. Their shirt will stick to them harder than politicians being on board for Trump!! But at least eventually we can let go of this stickiness. If we can all eat a healthier diet, then we can possibly suppress how often our body reacts to humid areas!!! But even eating gluten-free may not be able to stop the hotness!!!

3. The insects

When the seasons change, so does the animals and insects. As the weather gets hotter, the flies and wasps will come out to play. Whether they are nets trying to ruin your cookout or a bumblebee trying to enter your house, there will be some type of creature waiting just to ruin your vibe. Bug spray will be a constant need to keep those pests away temporarily, but they can be a mockery.

4. The Dad Bod

I am sorry, but Dad Bods were never in. Hate to break it to you guys, but dad bods are not the rage. Whomever made dad bods ok, you are ruining the American public, and should be ashamed of yourself. No one will want to see a beer belly or a shirt that will not fit over your stomach, when we are out in public. If you guys have not shaved, it is going to be a nasty site to see. And it really is a changing of the guard for women, if they think six pack abs are not just a thing of beauty. I think they would prefer a six pack miller lite than a six-pack boy. So according to them, it is not worth me going to gym, because I am not going to attract them that way. *shrugs shoulders*

5. The boredom

If you really do not have a job that you can invest in around the clock, not many friends, or just plainly do not have anything going on, then you are going to be bored with your life. Summers are long when your time is idle, and you can become bored. There is no football or basketball. Baseball is there, but it does not exude excitement as the other sports would. But I would hope your summer is steamy like a sauna, or a grill. And I hope it is magical like a Midsummer Night's Dream!!!

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?

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.

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!)
