Its officially summer here in Houston! You can bet I will be living by the pool, and consistently eating watermelon for the next few months (if this rain ever goes away). There is so much I want to do and see this summer, and after nine straight months of waking up at 6 a.m., homework homework homework, tests, quizzes and an exhausting schedule, I am more than ready to relax and just hang out with friends. Now that I will be moving out of the state, there are still a few places on my bucket list I want to see and/or revisit before my move-in date!

Galveston Beach

The Strand

I will definitely be checking out all of the cute little shops one last time before I move. Yaga's, Jammin, Star Drug Store, Mod Cafe and Board Game Island will be missed, and are a couple you must check out!

Pleasure pier

Believe it or not, I've always been too much of a baby to ride the Iron Shark Roller Coaster...this summer, I'm going to make it happen! Tickets for a full day of rides are $26.99.

Sugar and Cloth Color wall

I've never been, and I want to take some colorful pictures with some friends! Who wants to come with?

Austin graffiti walls

Austin in general is such a cool place, but have you seen these graffiti walls?

ACL

One of the largest Music Festivals in Texas! From Kendrick Lamar, AWOLNATION, to Willie Nelson, to The Chainsmokers, to Mumford and Sons, ACL is sure to have amazing artists for everyone. Tickets are up to $255 for one weekend and $100 for a day pass.

Jacob's Well

Would you take the plunge? The water is crystal clear and did I mention freezing. A place I definitely want to go back to hang out this summer!

Pedernales State Park

I've never been to Pedernales, but the pictures are beautiful!

Frio River Tubing

Tubing on the Frio, where a good time is guaranteed. Hoping to rent a cabin and some tubes this summer!

Hamilton Pool

I've only heard about and seen pictures of the Hamilton pool, but from this picture, you can understand why it's on my bucket list.

Houston outdoor movies

This summer, Houston is putting on many different outdoor movies throughout the area. Schedules have been released online!

Freedom over Houston

Held at Eleanor Tinsley Park on Buffalo Bayou, Freedom over Texas puts on live music and an amazing firework show. This year, Darius Rucker will be performing and is sure to be a fun time this 4th of July!

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?

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!)
