Dear Diary

A li'l June update

Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

The summer is going pretty well. You’d be so proud of me -- I haven’t spent any money since I started working. My idea for the rest of the summer is that I’ll use my babysitting money as my spending money, just keep the cash in my wallet, and then save all the money from work that gets direct deposited into my bank account. All I know is that I’m going to need some moolah to back me up when my roommate from last year and I want to get food from that calzone place near school (I’m smiling just as I think of the goodness). Also, I need gas and insurance money -- just because my mom bought me my car doesn’t mean she’s going to pay for the rest, dammit.

I’ve been at my summer job for two and a half weeks, and it’s going OK. Being the new kid (again) always makes the beginning a li'l lonely, but I know I’ll get there -- I mean one of my favorite things is making new friends (that reminds me -- gotta stock up on my lunch dates, I’ve been slacking, although my new cheap mindset makes spending money on food hard).

This morning I made chocolate chip and banana chocolate chip pancakes -- again. I will never stop loving these pancakes. And they’re best when they’re made at home, either by my mom or myself, must be something in our water or the chocolate chips we use that makes it unique to everywhere else.

Despite my weekend cravings, I’ve been getting up at 6 a.m. almost every weekday morning to work out before heading to work. And starting next week I’m going to have to push that an hour earlier because work is starting earlier. And not gonna lie to you; my legs are getting pretty strong.

I’m trying to plan trips to see all my friends from school, but it’s not going so well. I swear I’m not being lazy, but driving longer than 90 minutes is not my forte. Especially with my mom continuously yelling at me about insisting that my beautiful Lucy (my, ahem, car) will break down. My ’06 bug is strong and long-lasting, thank you very much.

Anyway, I might not be writing a lot to you, I’ve never done very well with consistent diary writing. But I’ll talk to you soon enough!

Xx,
Victoria.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

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!)
