1. All four seasons

Spring, summer, fall, and winter. We have it all! All temperatures, all precipitation. It is the absolute best.

2. The lakes

Not only do we have the Great Lakes, no salt, and no sharks! We have smaller yet beautiful lakes all throughout the state. We also have Higgins, Houghton, and Crystal Lake!

3. Going "Up North"

Going "Up North" for holiday weekends and camping all through the summer. Summers were always spent with family and friends taking long weekend trips to the upper parts of this beautiful state. Tubing down the river, late night bonfires, and getting fried to a crispy shade of red. Those are the best parts of being up north.

4. The snow!!

I absolutely love the snow, maybe not shoveling and driving in it. Yet, snowmen and sledding were some of the highlights of my childhood. It is so beautiful and magical.

5. Football

Big House

Friday nights, all day Saturday and Sunday. Football is on, and yelling at the TV is in full force. While I may be biased, the Michigan State and University of Michigan is the best rivalry ever. Football is all-around fun. From high school to college, and yes, even the Lions in the NFL, no matter what level it is amazing to watch.


6. The Concerts


From Ford Field to Soaring Eagle on the hill, the concert venues are endless. DTE and Van Andel Arena are just two more to name some of the breathtaking places to watch live music!

7. Beautiful Scenery

The UP, Mackinac Island, The Ledges, Lake Michigan, and Frankenmuth. So many beautiful places, and scenes. Picture perfect places, in this picture perfect place.

Michigan, the mitten state. The Wolverines, Spartans, Tigers, and Lions. We love them all. The beautiful places and all of the weather changes. Michigan is such a gorgeous state, and I love living here!!

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!)
