7 Things You Think While SeeingĀ  Prospective Student Tour Groups On Campus

No matter what college you attend, there's bound to be student tours somewhat frequent, at popular colleges this is usually daily. Here are seven things that go through the minds of current students seeing prospective students touring.

1. Can they walk any slower?

I'm already five minutes late for my class, let's pick up the pace.

2. Don't throw up in the bushes

Tour guides on Fridays should probably add, "And to the right, we see someone recovering from Thirsty Thursday."

3. They look so young

Giphy

Are juniors and seniors in high school starting to look younger and younger, or are high schoolers starting to tour colleges as freshmen?

4. Did I look that innocent on my tour, too?

"Mom, don't ask any questions!"

5. Stop looking at me

Giphy

Do I look like a worn out mom of three? Just wait until it's your turn to look this rough going to class, kid.

6. Their parents are definitely alumni

Giphy

You can always see those parents with a t-shirt on with the college's name who tries to one-up the tour guide by adding in more information from when "they were a student."

7. If I were their tour guide it'd be a different kind of informative

Giphy

"This is the dining hall closest if you live over here. It will also almost never agree with your stomach."

Although they sometimes may walk way too slow, seeing tour groups allows for stimulating thoughts while walking to class, in contrast to the normal observations.

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 donā€™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 canā€™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 itā€™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 youā€™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, itā€™s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and itā€™s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following arenā€™t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
