10 Thoughts College Students Have In The Days Leading Up To Spring Break
Julien Haler

Whether you're going on an exciting adventure or just taking time to rest at home, these thoughts have probably crossed your mind at some point during the last few days. Spring break is short, but you can make some of your best memories during that week. Go out of your comfort zone, hug your family and catch up with old friends. But most of all, have the time of your life.

1. Can I go five more days with two pairs of jeans?

The desperation to avoid doing laundry starts kicking in.

2. I cannot spend any money whatsoever.

If that means not buying shampoo or your favorite coffee, you suffer through.

3. I can’t wait to see everyone!

If you’re one of many going home for spring break, seeing your family and friends is the light at the end of a very long tunnel.

4. I’m not looking forward to seeing people.

If you’re going away for break, chances are there will not be a lot of down time. That means looking presentable a majority of the time. However, you know once you get out, you'll have a blast.

5. I think I am going to start on that homework that isn’t due until break.

Although you know wholeheartedly that you won’t start on it until the night before school starts again.

6. I can’t forget to clean out my fridge.

You’ve made the mistake before and will not be doing it again.

7. If I can just get through this midterm…

There is always that one professor that plans a test or assignment so you can’t leave when you really wanted to.

8. When I get back I get put away my winter clothes!

This might be true for normal college students, but in Wyoming there will probably be a blizzard in mid-April. However, when that time finally comes around, we know how good the feeling is.

9. How long until summer?

Having this break coming up makes you count the days until the semester is officially over.

10. I only have five days left until it’s over.

Once your break actually starts you can’t help to slowly count down the days until you have to go back. At times this could be a good thing, but it mostly just makes you sad.

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!)
