Pickin' Up Some Good Vibrations

From me to you.

Dear Humans,

Trump sucks, but so does all of this negative energy in America.

I don't know how much more sad news I can bear and I'm sure you couldn't agree more.

And I'm not referring to the presidential election, no, I'm referring to the after-effect: the hatred that has been set in motion and that fills every one of my social media feeds. The fear that it has caused and what that fear is pushing people to do is frightening. I don't wish to share entirely my personal opinion on the current American president, but I do wish for people...at least Americans, and those who reside in America, to simply wait and see how everything unfolds.

For now, I'm just happy to be able to take some negativity away and share some positive vibes from this week with you.

Happier Times #1: The NYPD discovered at a crash site a vehicle that was transporting 104 puppies to sell illegally, ALL WHICH WERE RESCUED!

Happier Times #2: Airbnb is providing free housing to refugees and anyone not allowed in the United States.

Happier Times #3: The world average life expectancy has increased by 6 years since 1990.

Happier Times #4: Boston Federal Court puts hold on Trump's travel, refugee ban - which brings us to more good news: THE PEOPLE ARE BEING HEARD!

Happier Times #5: Each and every day, there are superior humans looking for cures, for alternatives to better our life on earth, they're even searching for a new planet that could save future generations - people who don't even concern them.

How do we not continue to spread that around the internet? I couldn't tell you how difficult it was to run into, merely four, real, positive articles. Looks like the all the happier news gets lost in a pile, lying on all of the money-hungry-hippos' desks.

Best of Luck,

Valeria


P.S. Spread some love and exchange a few hugs and kisses this year because the world is seriously lacking those good vibrations.

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.

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!)
