We all know those people that don't think things through and kind of just do things. We don't really plan to do something, we just wake up and do it. Being impulsive isn't really a bad thing because we just go with the flow and don't get too upset over change. But there are a lot of struggles being an impulsive person.

Going shopping is a gamble.

Yea, I went in there to buy bread and almond milk. What did I leave with? Five pillows and a new bathing suit. I already have 20 pillows, I don't really know why I bought more.

Your hair is a thing in the past.

Changing your hairstyle is pretty risky, but when you're impulsive, you'll cut seven inches off and be completely fine. Until three months later when you can't do anything to it. Dye and fry your hair, it's fine, it's just hair.

Please don't fight with us.

When we fight, we want to end whatever is the problem. So nothing is safe, including you mom.

Plans do not exist.

If we make plans, and I bail last minute it's probably because I decided to go on an adventure without telling anyone. Track my phone and make sure I am alive.

What consequences?

Since we don't think things through, we don't really understand the consequences that we could face because of our actions. And it'll come to a shock when it catches up to us.

Being impulsive is all fun and games, until its not anymore. We might come to regret what we have done in the past. We might not know what exactly we are getting into at the time of a decision. But I would rather be someone who just gets up and does what I want, than sit around and talk about it. I'll take the struggles as they come, and stay impulsive for life.

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?

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!)
