Spring Semester Sign Up

A few ideas to add to a lackluster course load.

Spring Semester Sign Up

Another semester bites the dust. The beautiful thing is that the close of one semester usually leads to the beginning of another. So the burning question: What classes should you fill your life with for the first four months of 2015?   

For some, options are limited. Core and major requirements take up all hours and leave no time for recreational courses. However, students with a bit more wiggle room may be searching for a few good fillers. That ideal, slightly-outlandish class that teaches something cool but does not penalize the GPA. For anyone who falls into that category, here are a few little gems for your consideration that you might not have known TCU offered:   

ARST 60140 Painting    
Even if you aren't a Picasso, it's good for the soul.

NTDT 10103 Food Preparation   
Apparently there is a lab portion where you get to just cook food. What more do you need in life?

PEAC 10721 Raquetball     
No other sport creates a more intimidating athlete...

MUSI 11040 Class Piano     
Because you should have listened to your dad when he told you at age 12 you would regret quitting. They always know...

DANC 20442 Hip Hop
Popping and locking is (almost) a proven stress reliever.

PHIL 10003 Philosophy One-Meaning of Life
If there's a chance it's as simple as taking a class to figure this one out, then why not give it a try.

WRIT 10203 Intro to Creative Writing 
You could probably use some more designated creativity time in your life.

CHIN 10163 Beginning Chinese
This could change your whole future. Or do nothing for you. Only time will tell.

Obviously the TCU class search is at every student's disposal, but the drop down list of class categories is overwhelming enough in and of itself. Hopefully having a few options weeded out here inspires you in some type of way.

And remember, learning is fun.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

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.

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!)
