Outdoor Activities

Just because you are socially distant dose not mean you still can't go outside, you can go for a walk/run around your neighborhood, go for a hike or a bike ride, go rock climbing if you have the training, if you have kids they can play with chalk in the driveway or sidewalk, have a little pool just for the family, do an outside workout when its nice, read outside, have a scavenger hunt, camp in the back yard, play outdoor games like Frisbee, corn hole, play catch or soccer. So don't think you have to stay inside unless you are sick then stay inside.

there are many things you can do to stay busy, If you are sick please stay inside and take care of yourself, and if your not sick still take care of yourself, wash your hands and stay active.

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
Taylor Hooper

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.

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.
