I'm Sleeping All Spring Break And I'm OK With That

No luxury vaca or Caribbean cruise for me.

I'm Sleeping All Spring Break And I'm OK With That

This semester has been a whirlwind. I honestly can't believe it's already March and I've slept a total of five hours.

With two internships and a full class schedule, sleeping, eating and honestly just breathing have taken a backseat to work, finishing class assignments and tons of journalism (which makes it all better).

So, this Spring Break, I won't be heading to the beach like most of my fellow classmates. I will be sleeping ... for days.

I think wanting to sleep over going on a vacation is the most adult thing I've experienced so far in my 22 years of life. I am honestly looking forward to it as if I'm about to backpack through Europe. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I can dream that I'm in some exotic place while I slumber the week away.

In all honesty, though, I can't wait to graduate. School is fun and all, and I love seeing my friends every day, but I don't know how much longer I can spread myself this thin. I'm so eager to just start my career and only have to do what I love for the rest of my life - without all of the other institutional distractions. That is if I find a job before graduation. *Big sigh*

A break to myself is exactly what I need to finish my four years at UCF strong and rejuvenated. Maybe I'll do something staycation-ish here in Orlando like go to Disney or Universal, but nothing too crazy. And nothing that will interfere with my 15 hours of sleep minimum per day all break.

If you don't have any exciting plans for your Spring Break, I highly recommend hibernation. You'll save money, pounds and a whole lot of sanity.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

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.

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!)
