It's Parents Weekend SZN. Parents from all over migrate to UD to spend time with their children who they have missed dearly the past month. Their are so many fun things to do around Newark, places to see, places to shop, places to eat. Here are the top five things to do during Parents Weekend.

1. Walk around Main Street. Main Street is the perfect place to spend time with your family. The amazing shops, restaurants, and scenery is the epitome of "The Perfect College Town." Some of my favorite places on Main Street include Honey-Grow, Homegrown, Bloom, Grass-Roots and California Tortilla.

2. Take a walk through White Creek Clay State Park. With more than 150 miles of hiking and biking their is something to do for everyone.

3. Go to Milburn Orchards and go apple picking. Get that good apple picking Instagram with the fam on the orchards! A gorgeous place to go apple picking with a great market that has A+ donuts!! The mac & cheese is also really good !!!!

4. Take a ride to the Christiana Mall! The Christiana Mall has so many stores that I actually got lost with my mom at least five times. From Forever 21, to H&M, to South Moon Under, you will never be unsatisfied with options. South Moon Under may or may not be my new obsession ;).

5. Attend the football game! Even though for this years game it started pouring people still had fun tailgating, taking pictures, and cheering on the Blue Hens!!

UD is the greatest place ever and it is the best feeling in the world sharing this amazing place with your family!! GO BLUE HENS.

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. 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.

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!)
