Zoom University...Another Semester Down

If you had another semester on Zoom U, give yourself some credit.

We did it! We survived another semester of classes on Zoom University.

Some of you may be thinking, how did we do that? The days just seem to go on for forever.

I don't know about you, but I unfortunately had all of my classes on Zoom this past semester.

If you're in the same boat as me, this semester consisted of waking up later than my alarm, turning on my computer right before the start of class, seeing my face in my computer, and then turning my camera off immediately.

Yes, the days were very repetitive.

I never in a hundred years thought I'd miss running to class halfway across campus every day. I especially never thought I'd be here, logging onto my computer for school every day when I go to a school with one of the best college campuses ever!

This whole semester was a battle between getting my Zoom to operate, and trying to understand what the professors were saying about when assignments were actually due.

But, ah. I can take a sigh of relief. This semester is finally wrapping up, and I could not be happier!

I survived another semester of Zoom.

It was weird, it was an adjustment. Five online classes? That is why I am giving myself credit.

So, if you also thought going to Zoom U every day was a struggle, you got through it! You did it.

Pat yourself on the back and take a breather. Relax when you're on winter break. You, and all the other college students, definitely deserve it.

Give yourself some credit. We had to learn how to learn in a whole different way. That deserves some recognition.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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!)
