9 Reasons Why I'm Ready To Go Back To School
Liana "Lilo" Bustamante

August is here and that means...school is starting again!

Summer has been work-filled and very exciting with great memories, but I'm ready to go back to Stephens College, my second home. I'll be back there in about two weeks and here are just a few reasons I'm excited to go back.

1. I've missed my friends from school.

While some of my friends weren't as far away as others, I've been pretty busy working this summer. I'm excited to go back to school where I'll still work pretty often, but see them on an almost everyday basis on campus.

2. I've been excited about the classes I signed up for since I signed up for them.

Fingers crossed that I remember to turn in the paperwork to take that Spanish class at Miz. But hey, at least I get to take ASL this year -- WOOHOO!

3. New year, new room, new roommate!

Last year was awesome and I loved my room and roommate. However, I'm super excited for this coming year since I've had a year of knowing what life is like on campus!

4. Dorm decorating.

I've been contemplating how I want to express myself via my half of the room this coming year. I have so many posters and ideas on how to decorate and I just can't wait!

5. I'm an OGL this year!

So, an OGL is an Orientation Group Leader. I basically get to help welcome in the incoming freshmen and make their orientation as awesome as possible! I had one last year and I had a whole lot of fun during my orientation week. I also get to move in a week early with them!

6. School events all the time.

I've done some really awesome, fun things this summer like #TWRPhillyTakeover, but I have been working almost every day since June. I'm excited for different events on campus all the time whether it's a midnight breakfast during midterms/finals weeks or a Decorate-a-doorstop event.

7. Making late-night runs...

...to get food. I can leave my dorm and come back basically whenever without feeling bad that I'll wake my family up.

8. New school supplies and DIYs.

I already bought some new notebooks and I've been keeping up with my favorite YouTubers who are already posting their back to school DIYs.

9. Autumn is just around the corner!

Autumn is my favorite season because it's not too hot or cold. I also love the colors of the season and it just brings me the warm fuzzy feelies.

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!)
