Best(ie) Date Ideas

After a long week, sometimes all you need is a date. But, not with your boyfriend. You just need time with your best friend. Having dates with your bestie is one of the most therapeutic things ever. You make some of the best memories and get some one-on-one time with your favorite person on the planet! While going out for dinner and drinks is always nice, it can get on the expensive side. So, I decided to drop some less expensive bestie date ideas! I can even guarantee you will make far more significant memories doing them!

1. Stay up all night watching movies. 

I have not pulled an all nighter (for fun) in SO LONG! Pick your top five favorite movies and start watching. Get some popcorn and even make your living room into a big bed for you guys to lay down and get comfortable! Change up the movie genres to spice things up.

2. Find a recipe to cook together. 

Now, the key to this is finding a recipe that you guys definitely do not have the skills to make but have the confidence you could pull it out together. That is what will make the experience memorable. I promise you, it will get messy and hilarious really fast. But, nothing is more intense than the moment of truth where you both take that first bite!!

3. Wine night under the stars. 

Both of you pick your favorite bottle of wine and find a pretty spot outside. Easy as that! Spend time talking about everything on your minds! From the silly and embarrassing things, to the emotionally draining aspects of your life at the time. It is like a weight lifted off your shoulders to talk to your best friend. Plus, what better setting and who does not like little bit of liquid courage?

4. Painting with a Twist. 

I do not know about you guys, but I love to paint! Am I good at it? Not the best, but I have fun doing it! Painting is something that takes practice but can be super fun to do with your bestie! Start small, get some little canvases and paint something simple! You guys can pop open the wine and even try to paint the same thing! See whose comes out better with a poll on Instagram to make it interesting!

5. At-home spa. 

Now this is something that I think every girl can agree that they need! And I am talking about going the whole nine yards. The face masks, hair masks, just all of the masks!! Throw your hair back, do your nails and pamper yourselves! Watch your favorite reality show and allow yourselves to completely relax. With how busy our lives are, it will be the night your just needed.

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.

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.
