30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Write My Thesis
Talking Evil Bean

Being in your Senior Year means crunching for hours to get your thesis done on time by the end of the semester; however, Senioritis strikes hard when it comes to writing a thesis. Here are 30 things, both good and bad, that I would rather be doing than writing my thesis.

1. Taking my girlfriend on a date

2. Climbing a mountain

3. Going to the beach with friends

4. Becoming friends with a shark

5. Playing Pokemon GO in a New England snowstorm

6. Treating myself to Ben & Jerry's

7. Coming up with a senior prank that's better than my high school senior prank (It was terrible)

8. Having a few (or a lot) drinks with my (legal) friends

9. Watching a new Netflix or Hulu Original

10.Skateboarding down a long road on a sunny day

11. Being forced to hitchhike home from college

12. Go through old-school fraternity hazing

13. Walk through a graveyard at night

14. Go on a vision quest

15. Play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch for 48 hours straight

16. Drink hot sauce straight with no chaser

17. Go toe-to-toe with the Incredible Hulk

18. Go cliff diving

19. Be in the pit at a Twenty One Pilots concert

20. Suffer through Freshman year icebreaker

21. Gain the Freshman Fifteen. Twice.

22. Be a Delivery Guy for Domino's on the first Friday/Saturday night of the semester


23. Go to class drunk/high with a Conservative Professor

24. Go on a long drive at night with my good friends

25. Do the Gummy Bear Challenge

26. Ice Skate on melting ice

27. Having Thanksgiving II in the Spring and deal with the relatives again...

28. Work at Walmart to pay my entire college tuition

Watch the video here by Joe Santagato to figure out why this is such a bad idea.

29. Go sledding and have snowball fights


30. Last but not least: Have sex


Yeah, writing a thesis is not fun, and there is always something else you'd rather be doing. Alas, we must push past the procrastination and get it done. It's the last big challenge before graduation, afterall.

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
