It's that time of year again when it's still summer but you're paying for textbooks, walking into class dripping in sweat, and drowning in syllabi. Before you know it school will be in full swing and you'll have never-ending work to do. As you set out to conquer each of your classes there's some thoughts that might run through your head as you walk through campus:

1. Wow. Look at the time. I am so going to be late for class. Maybe I should go get coffee. The professor so won't notice.


2. I am so hungry. I need to walk fast I cannot wait in a thirty minute line for a sandwich.


3. I didn't walk fast enough. My sandwich is moldy. Omg I'm going to be late for class again?

4. Did we have an assignment due? Did I do that...I guess I'll find out when I get to class.

5. I need to call my mom. I miss my dog. Crap, I left my laundry in the washer. I hope my clothes are okay.

6. How is she wearing a dress to class? I didn't even brush my hair. I hope people didn't notice the piece of lettuce stuck in my teeth.

7. It's only Monday. That just means four more days until the weekend. I can totally do this.

8. Was I supposed to meet with them for lunch today? Guess I'll try again tomorrow...

9. I really hope I locked the door at the apartment... I think I did...

10. Why is it so hot? It's only the 2nd week of school. I can't do this. Totally just going to travel.

11. I forgot... I am way too broke to travel.

12. I. Need. Coffee.

13. Why am I the only one that doesn't have my life together?

14. I totally just lost my planner... what classroom was I in last?

15. Okay well at least I'm not wearing pajamas to class.

16. When can I go back to preschool?

17. I just want to go sleep... guess I'll have to wait until December for that.

18. It'd be really nice if the WiFi could for ten seconds so I could post this.

19. When is graduation again? I can't handle one more assignment.

20. I don't understand how everyone else does it... or do they?

21. Should I switch majors? Am I even doing the right thing with my life? I heard doctors make a lot of money...

22. I'm just going to call my mom and cry.

Good luck to all with a great school year that is hopefully less dramatic than this list!!

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.
