9 Things To Know About Hurricane Matthew
FOX News

Hurricane Matthew has hit Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas, and it is heading straight for the United States. We have seen on the news the devastating damage that Matthew had on Haiti, and all that we can do is wait for it to come to Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. It’s a serious time and waiting for the storm to pass is making everyone who lives in dangerous areas pretty anxious. So what do we do when we are waiting for floods, power outages, and other fun hurricane stuff? We laugh at memes on the Internet.

1. Its been unseasonably warm down south, all we wanted was a nice fall breeze and sweater weather. Not a category 5 Hurricane. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature.

2. Why not make up a conspiracy theory, because when America doesn't like something, we turn it into a elaborate explanation of secrets. So really, Harambe is behind Hurricane Matthew.

3. Here’s another conspiracy theory to get you thinking. It all makes sense, do you know how crowded Costco was before their shelves were emptied?

4. Hurricanes want to ride Space Mountain too, and now that Florida and 3 other East Coast states are under a state of emergency, Disney World is closed down. Maybe next time, Matthew.

5. In the places where Matthew is going to hit, people are trying to get last minutes supplies before they are stuck inside. Thankfully, some places haven't boarded up their windows and closed yet.

6. Evacuating is so much effort, and like my life’s not going so amazing anyway. Maybe if I was rich and kept my stacks of money under my mattress I would think about it, but for now I’m good at home.

7. Those people who are not taking any chances and have decided to go to shelters inland are probably super mad. How annoyed would you be if this happened to you?

8. Fun fact, Matthew brought along his friend Nicole to mess stuff up. So when Hurricane Matthew is gone, Tropical Storm Nicole will be right behind him.

9. I mean, when they cancel schools and are expecting lots of damage to campuses, us students are actually really thankful to be getting a break. We are kind of glad to see Matthew, it’s okay to admit it.

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?

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.
