7 Things I'm Looking Forward To For Christmas Break
@biblesandcoffee

As I approach dead week and finals week here at the lovely University of Kentucky, there are certain things that are fueling me, motivating me to finish this semester strong. I am stressed out more than I have ever been throughout all my college career and I am losing the motivation to even care about school at this point. I have been stressed out over minimal things that seem deceivingly important at the time, but from a long-term perspective, they really don't matter all that much. Perhaps there are more people out there in the world that feels the same that I do, in that case, I am not alone in this endless void.

This is a list of things that are keeping me motivated for the break coming up.

1. God! God is always my #1

cross

God loves us so much and because He loves us so much, He deserves all of our praise and all our love.

1. My family! Mi familia!

family

Sometimes I get tired of them, but my family is by my side no matter what. They will be the ones cheering for me at my graduation and at my future wedding.

3. Good food!

eating

This will be me during the break!

4. Good sleep!

sleeping

This dude is tired! This semester has wore me out. College consumes a lot of my energy. I'm going to sleep in late all break and periodically take naps.

5. HARRY POTTER MARATHON!!!!!

I am going to have a Harry Potter marathon, because I like Harry Potter and I am still waiting on my Hogwarts acceptance letter.

6. Doing a little drinkin' !!!!

drink

I usually have a little wine, a little Jack Pepper (bourbon and Dr. Pepper), maybe a little beer. There is nothing like chilling with a drink in your hand.

7. DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!

sweatpants

No lie, I have been wearing sweatpants every day since it got cold here in Lexington. I will continue to wear sweatpants worn until term resumes. Why? They are comfy as a baby's blanket.


Anyways, this is my list. I am sure everybody's lists are different and similar to mine, but press on! Break will be here before you know 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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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!)
