This Week's National Holidays Are Pretty Delicious

Ever need a good excuse to abuse your sweet tooth? Or a reason to get a side of fries instead of a boring old salad? Well, here in the United States, we like to celebrate food just for the sake of being food. This week has some pretty delicious days to celebrate, so if you're a human being with taste buds and without a strict diet, read on! Even if you aren't a human being, read on; I won't discriminate!

Monday, July 11:

National Blueberry Muffin Day.

And blueberries are filled with antioxidants, so... kind of healthy, right?

National Mojito Day.

Don't mind if I do!

Tuesday, July 12:

National Pecan Pie Day.

I personally won't be celebrating this; I'm more of a cake person myself.

Eat Your Jello Day.

I don't know why the title of this day is so aggressive. I'll eat my jello at my own pace, thank-you-very-much.

Wednesday, July 13:

National French Fry Day.

Absolutely, 100 percent, yes!

Thursday, July 14:

National Hot Dog Day.


Perfect excuse to get some use out of the grill!

Friday, July 15:

National Tapioca Pudding Day.

Eh, I'll probably just celebrate National Mojito Day again...

Saturday, July 16:

National Corn Fritters Day.

Well, looks like I'm celebrating National Mojito Day a third time...

Sunday, July 17:

National Ice Cream Day.

Woo! Ending on a fantastic note!

Happy eating!

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?

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!)
