Life can become tedious sometimes. You fall into a routine, and become bored, day in and day out doing the same thing can become exhausting. Going to school, then work, or a sports practice every day can sometimes feel monotonous, and after a while you don't really understand why you're doing it. You've become bored and you need to fall in love with your life again.

It's so important to take a break and do something for you once in a while. Take a break, take a trip, and make some memories. In 20 years you won't want to be talking about how many hours you could work in a week, you want to be talking about that road trip you took with your friends and saw the sun rise from the mountains and laughed until you couldn't breath the whole time.

As a college student it is so easy to get stuck in this boring routine. Since you don't have much money to begin with you have to spend your whole summer and school breaks working, and you can't just skip class for a week or you'll get behind. But you still need to take the time to do what makes you happy. Sure going to bars and parties is fun at the end of a long week but even that can start to get old quick. I promise you if you take a weekend off and go on a little road trip you aren't going to miss the parties that happened while you were gone.

Plan something, don't think about it, don't think about the money you'll need to spend, don't think about what you'll be missing if you do something for yourself, just do it. Go with some friends, go alone, do whatever it takes to recharge before you completely burn out. Life is way too short to not go out and do the things you want to do. Traveling and experiencing new things can be addicting, but is that really such a bad addiction to have?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
