Three Easy DIY Projects That Anyone Can Accomplish

DIY projects are the best because whatever you end up making you will feel more proud about it since it is your sweat and blood that was put into it. There are millions of little projects that one can do to spice up their place. In the past two months, I have done three that are so easy that anyone can do it so I thought I would share. The process of creating something is fun too because you can put your own little spin to it to make it absolutely yours. So let's cut the small talk and get to work!

Outdoor Bar

This outdoor bar is cute, simple and cheap. All you really need for this is two wood pallets, two flat pieces of stone and paint and you are ready to go. You will drill the pallets together making it wider and then glue the stone on top of the pallets to create a flat surface. Before doing this although, I would paint the pallets whatever color you decide first so it is easier to get all parts of the pallets covered. I put a little spin to mine by putting lights through both pallets and painting a piece of plywood to put on the front of it.

Beer Frisbee

This is a fun game to play during the summer and is very simple to create. Instead of buying a set online which can be costly, make it yourself for half the price. All you need are two PVC pipes that you will place into the ground about 20 feet apart, a frisbee and beer! Think of this game as cornhole with two people on both sides of each pipe and all you are trying to do is get the beer on top of the pipe knocked down. It is a fun and easy game to create at any time.

Cloud Lights

This cloud light is perfect for a bedroom or anywhere in your house. It is easy to make and you can get all the materials at your local craft store. All you need is a paper lantern, cotton, LED lights, fishing line and a hook. These material will create a cloud light that makes your home just a little bit cozier. With using a fishing line, you won't be able to see the string so it will look as if the clouds are actually floating.

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.

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!)
