Now that many college students are starting to come back home for the summer, it's time to start merging into the lives we leave back home. I don't know about you, but facing three months of living at home after experiencing a year of independence is rather tough.

I feel restless and like there's nothing to do.

Here is a list of ways to overcome perpetual boredom that ensues when we're all back home again:

1. Create rockin' Spotify playlists for all occasions.

2. Plan a trip with your friends to the nearest city.

There could be pop-up shops, flea markets... see what's around!!

3. Re-arrange your room— it's fun to change things up!

Depending on your room and how much stuff you brought back from school, this could take you a while!

4. Paint, sketch, doodle— the works

Hitting up an arts store is actually so much fun. See what trinkets you find, buy paint, and have at it on a canvas!

5. Learn a new language!

Giph

Youtube does wonders...and so does Duolingo, a free language app!

6. Write letters to your future self.

Write letters to yourself for the day you graduate, for the day you get a job, for the day you get married, for the day you have kids, for the day you turn 21, etc... it's like a time capsule from you to you!

7. Raid your library.

There are so many good books out there...get to reading some!

8. Learn some fun cooking recipes!

Nothing beats enjoying an easy to cook, homemade meal.

9. Go on night drives with friends.

Blast music, talk, and just drive wherever. The night is yours!

10. Start scrap-booking!

There are so many photos on your phone. Go print them, buy fun paper, drink some wine, and have yourself a night of memories!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
