11 Things You Can Do To Avoid Unpacking From College

After shoving a whole semester's worth of items into my car, all I could think was, "Now how in the hell am I going to unpack all of this?" Following the unloading of my luggage into my house, it's safe to say that my bedroom looked like a crime scene for two weeks. As a master at procrastination, I did a billion things before unpacking from college. So if you still have yet to do so (no judgement man), here's a list of exquisitely random things you can do to push off that tedious task for just a bit longer.

1. Go shopping for new clothes:


Well, if I can't find a shirt amongst the clutter, I guess this means I can buy a new one...

2. Watch Netflix


When is this not an option?

3. Go out for ice cream

There's nothing quite like a good ice cream cone to distract you from your responsibilities.

4. Call your Grandma

She'll remind you that it's okay if your room isn't clean, because you're still perfect, special, and God's gift to the world.

5. Prancercise

Check out the full tutorial here:

6. Check the weather, and then tell everyone.

You're being such a help to everyone!

7. Offer to cook dinner

It's a beautiful day to learn something new!


8. Wash your car

The only fun kind of cleaning around.


9. Facebook stalk someone

One of the greatest forms of entertainment.


10. Prank call your significant other/best friend/sibling

It's an instant throwback to 6th grade.


11. And finally, take a nap.

Maybe your clothes will be magically put away when you wake up.

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.

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!)
