There's so much there when you just look up.

Top 5 Things I Did During My Week Without Technology
Benjamin Kerry

Over the past week, the weather has taken a turn and it's finally lovely outside. So now, I'm taking advantage of it as much as I can. Along with the nice weather, I've also taken a much needed break from technology. It's truly amazing to find out what's out there when you just look up every once in a while.

1. Read A Book

This one seems so obvious, yet whenever I had spare time before, I always turned right to Netflix. After an evening of sitting around watching T.V. I feel lazy and unproductive, but after reading all evening I feel re-energized.


2. Sitting Outside

Where I live, I have a balcony that faces the woods, I see a lot of deer, and best of all, the sun! But then again, anywhere outside is great! I spent my time on the balcony doing everything from homework, to reading, to making friendship bracelets, to just sitting around and enjoying the nature.


3. Take A Drive

There's something so invigorating about the first time each year you get to drive down some long back road. Especially with all the windows down and the music just a little too loud. Just a drive though, no places to be and no rushing, just driving.


4. Take A Hike

Cliche, I know. But what better way to enjoy a sunny day after a cold and rainy week than some time outside -- with a view! Now calling what I did a hike is a stretch, but none the less... there was sure a view!


5. Cook!

I find that I am often so attached to my phone and computer, that when it's time for dinner I make something easy and definitely not healthy. While being away from my phone, I've cooked just a few more full meals from recipes!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
