Dear God,

Hey. It's me, ya favorite girl, Hannah. How're you doing today? I'm sure you're doing absolutely wonderful and keeping busy. I've been meaning to ask, how's the weather up there? Everyone down here talks about how good it must be. Down here, though, it's been a constant downfall. Thunderstorms all the time and never-ending rain. Or, on second thought, I think that's just my tears. Oh.

So, about that…

Okay, so for starters, I just want to thank you for everything. You know, it's so awesome that you decided that I be born. It's also really great that you blessed me with a brain that works quite well more than half of the time and implanted within me the desire to go to college. I mean, besides the constant breakdown and terrible sleep schedule, life is perfect. It's great. Wonderful. If it were an Amazon purchase, I would give it a solid 4 stars. It only has once default, and it's totally not your fault. It's just me. I'm not too sure how this life/college things is supposed to work just yet. Just a fault of the user.

…anyway…

I have a few questions. A few pleads.

You know I'm in college. You know that I'm trying. I would turn into the most angelic human being if you could convince all of my professors to at least let me pass this school semester with a B. Hey, I'll even take a solid C. Please God, help me.

I feel like I can't do this anymore.

I feel like I am slowly being ran over by a train, during a firestorm, in the dead middle of winter. I know that didn't make any sense, but that's where my brain is now. It's tired, jittery and between the state of being completely blank and utterly full of scientific words I can't even pronounce.

On another note, do you know how much caffeine is too much? (or is there even a limit?) I mean, my hands shake, and my brain wins first place in a marathon with every sip of coffee, but that's healthy. Right? Do humans really need a good seven hours of sleep? Or did crazy people on the internet make that up? Oh! Now tell me, is it possible to sleep and study and binge watch my favorite shows at the same time?

God, please just help me.

Let my professors take sympathy for me and my coffee slap me awake so study sessions.

Please.

I'm just a college kid wanting to make it.

Amen.

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.

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!)
