​Things To Do Instead Of Texting Your Ex

We have all had those times where we really start to miss our ex flame, and wonder what they have been up to lately. Maybe it happens when you are back in your hometown and you start to reminisce on all of your memories, or after a long night of drinking where your drunk alter ego has your worst interest in mind.

Whatever the reason is, we all know its never a good idea to contact your ex. Ever. I mean whens the last time you drunk texted an ex and something good actually came out of it? Exactly.

So to spare the embarrassment, and the shame we feel after hitting up our ex, here is a list of all the things you can do instead of texting them.

1. Clean your room

I'm not just talking about a light cleaning either, Marie Kondo that shit sis, fully commit.

2. Take a walk

It's good for your body and your mind! Plus we all need some outdoor activities every once in a while.

3. Learn a new skill

Watch a webinar on a topic that interests you, read a "how to" article, or watch some youtube videos. I highly reccommend resorting to YouTube if you are trying to stay busy because we all know how easy it is to get sucked into that rabbit hole.

4. Go shopping

Everybody loves to shop, and what better way than to stay occupied than some retail therapy.

5. Cook a new meal

Cooking is actually really fun if you have the time to focus on a recipe and perfect it.

6. Workout

This is probably my personal favorite option, because you are bettering yourself while at the same time probably getting that revenge body Ms. Khloe Kardashian inspired us all to have.

Those are just a few options, but the bottom line is just don't do it. You'll thank me later when the urge to text them goes away and you move on with your life again with the peace of mind of knowing you didn't give them a reason to contact you. They are an ex for a reason and don't forget it!

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.

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.
