Everyone has struggled with #5.

The Odyssey Online

When I chose to stay at RPI an extra month after finals to take a summer course, I didn't really know what to expect. Everyone was leaving and going for the summer so I knew campus was going to be a lot different. Not having a car during the school year is rough, but over the summer? When all my friends are gone? It's been two weeks since the spring semester ended, and boy, has it been a long two weeks. More often than not, here are my usual thoughts through out the day.

1. I'm bored.

If only I was that adorable while bored...

2. Absolutely nothing is happening.

There is literally nothing going on at all.

2. Nomnomnomnomnom

If I'm going to have so much time to myself, I might as well spend it wisely... by stuffing my face with my favorites foods.


3. WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS? I HAVE NO FRIENDS.

I can see all of your snapchats. You're all home and soaking in the beautiful summer sun with your homies, and I'm just sitting here, chilling.

4. It's waaaaaaaay too hot here.

Troy's weather is ridiculous. Hot and humid 100 percent of the time with random patterns of heatwaves, rain, and thunderstorms.

5. New season? Netflix, Netflix, Netflix!

Yup, just me and my best friend Netlix.

6. I don't want to do homework, it's SUMMER! I just want to sit back, lay by the pool, and tan.

Where ya at summer? If Walter White is able to take time off from his busy life to hang by the pool and relax, so should I.

7. P I Z Z A

Pizza is bae. Pizza is love. Pizza is life.


8. and of course always and all the time

If I could stay in bed forever and never leave, I would. I really would.

Well summer, in 24 days I'll finally be catching my flight back home to San Francisco so I'll see you soon!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
