74 ideas to add to your summer bucket list
Kartik Kumar

Home from college this summer? Bored as heck? I relate to this all too well which is why I am sharing some fun ideas to add to your bucket list for summer 2018! I think everyone should live each and every day to the fullest. Yeah we know, you miss your college, we all do. But guess what? One, you won't be there until the fall so this is a silly thing to get worked up over. Two, your parents and family have missed you just as much and really do not want to hear about how much you "hate" your hometown. It is super possible to love two places at once. Just have fun and enjoy some well deserved time off. It is never too late to turn things around.

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
Taylor Hooper

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.

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.
