With everyone saying "follow your dream" and "pursue your passion," the pressure can be quite high when you still need to figure out exactly what that passion is. That is, until now...

Take a BuzzFeed quiz

Preferably try something like "What career should you actually have?" If you find yourself taking the "What kind of bread are you" quiz, you're probably too far down the rabbit hole.

Google search the top paying professions

Hmm... lawyer or doctor, which will it be?

Convince yourself that money doesn't matter when pursuing your passion

Money doesn't mean happiness, right?

Ask your family members for their opinion

After all, your family knows you best and can probably guide you in the right direction.

Ignore your family's opinion

Shout out something along the lines of "Only I can discover the right path for me!" and retreat back to another BuzzFeed quiz.

Go to college and pick a major that sounds interesting

The opportunities are endless!

Change your major

And I mean endless...

Repeat step 7 as many times as necessary

Seriously...endless.

Pick one and tell your friends and family (and yourself) that you found your calling

Whether it means college or not, find something you truly enjoy and make the most of it.

But always remember that passions can change and evolve

Just because you start down a certain path doesn't mean that you need to stay on it without turning around or taking a different road. The more you explore, the more you learn. That's all part of the fun.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
