"What team are you rooting for?"

"Did you make your bracket?"

"My WHAT?"

If you're getting some of these reactions and comments this month, and have no idea why let me break it down for you: March Madness. If you have a boyfriend, brother, guy best friend, dad, brother, or just sit next to Chad in your Sociology class, then you would know what this is. But do you really know what it is? I just made my bracket and think I'm the expert on basketball now (but I chose VT to win it all and they just lost while I was writing this, so...).

1. March Madness? Huh?

2. Wasn't it just spring break??

3. Alright, even my sorority sisters are making a bracket...

4. ... I should probably make it too if Lauren is.

5. Why is my BF paying more attention to the game more than me?

6. Probably because he doesn't know he's my BF.

7. Gonna die alone.

8. Unless I marry a basketball player...

9. I should make my bracket based on how hot the players are.

10. Let's see, Grayson Allen from Duke is pretty hot...

11. ...except when he tripped and fell.

12. Who TF are these teams??

13. Seriously, I didn't even know these schools existed.

14. How do guys keep up with this all year?

15. Probably how I keep up with the Bachelor.

16. Girls should make a bracket for The Bachelor.

17. Oh wait, we do.

18. Okay, so the only school that I really know is mine so of course I'm gonna make my school win.

19. Down to the final four. Don't know these teams.

20. Picked a winner. Now hold my beer and let me watch basketball.

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!)
