Now Is Not The Time To Go Back To School

Trust me I don't want to spend my senior year of college not at college. But we need to realize going back isn't helping this pandemic.

Now Is Not The Time To Go Back To School

I wrote a an article on why teachers shouldn't feel forced to go back to school And I 100% still stand by that. It's not fair that major athletes are opting out of the season because they aren't comfortable. Which I would like to add is okay too. But what isn't okay is that they are praised for it while teachers are basically getting told to get over it.

But besides teacher we need to talk about students too. So many people had high hopes about going back. I honestly didn't. Trust me I was wishing but I tried to be realistic. If you really think about it going back to school right now isn't the best decision. Virtual learning is going to be our new normal for a bit. I just don't get how the spread if a virus will be contained in a elementary school, high school, and even college. I don't see how living with multiple other people who have different schedules helps this virus.

Now I agree we have to get back to normal someday but that someday is not now. Kids will be wanting to "trade" their masks just like their lunches. College kids will want to find loopholes in the rules. Let's be honest they will try it. And not to mention who wants to wear a mask during class. I personally think that might be difficult. And no I am not complaining and being anti mask. Wear your mask people please.

I so badly want to spend my last year of college at the library with my friends, the student cafe with my roommates, and just being in college. But I also understand my health is just as important. If you don't believe moving in to college right now is the right move then trust your gut. And to the people who need to go to college to not be home then go. I understand that dorms are better than home for some people, and thats okay. Be cautious my friends. Wear a mask and wash your hands.

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!)
