What Your New Years Plans Say About You

Extreme Procrastinator.

You thrive under pressure, especially when you have two fleeting hours until those dinner plans you just made the reservation for. That's enough time to find a satin velvet dress, knee high boots, a velvet choker, and a vintage leather handbag, right? While most would utter in panic, you do this sh*t for a living. A hasty one-to-two hour shopping spree, plus one hour of getting ready, is a success, always.

Carbs, Carbs, Carbs.

2017 is upon us. You are determined to drop those flabby arms and stomach in the new year. Before then, you have just 24 hours to devour every calorie-based item in sight. That's right, the seven layer brownie sundae on the menu will be indulged, and you will enjoy it. Hurry fast, because by noon the next day, carrots and crackers will devastatingly be your new go-to. That is, until your diet is cut short due to a withdrawal of succulent dinners and desserts. Will-power, people.

Booze and chill.

What other way to bring in the new year than belligerently chug an entire 30-case of coors light with friends in a high school acquaintances basement? Nothing sounds quite more alarming than a bunch of 20-somethings frolicking around a house as if they are back in a grimy and unsanitary fraternity house. Hey, at least you and your wallet will be satisfied in the morning.

Nightlife clubs/bars.

What does New Years Eve and the Big Apple have in common? A sh*t ton of celebration and regret. Going out clubbing is a big price to pay for an evening that reminds you why you're spending your week's worth paycheck in the first place. One, you overlook the past achievements you have not made this year, and would rather drown out your sorrow with sweaty strangers and a massive hangover in the morning. Furthermore, your love life is in despair and the desperation for a hook-up is in full gear. Don't worry about blacking out, though. You'll have a documented 100-second snapchat story you will puzzle back together the following day.

Your bed.

Forget champagne showers and one-night stands. All you need are dim lights, a tub of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked Ice cream, two melatonin, and a live HD viewing of New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, and you have yourself one rowdy night.

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.

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.
