Have Some Water

I know it tastes bad, just do it

You have heard it a million times before and here I am telling you again; water is so amazingly good for you! You probably heard that at some point when you were trying to get healthy. Started drinking a ton of water for a week, tops, and then forgot or lost interest. But be inspired again because water is magical and can help you out in so many different ways. You are human and you have a million problems in your life, so make your life a little easier by drinking lots of water. Drinking enough water will solve so many of your problems for you! Imagine these situations:

You wake up a couple days before a huge presentation/ date/ what have you. Your face is a mess because that is how your life is going right now. Calm down. Drink some water and clean out your system! Your skin will thank you and so will the rest of your body!

You go through your day feeling a little down. Your throat might be dry, you might be exhausted (which is strange, because for once you shut off Netflix and got a healthy eight hours), or you might have a headache that just won't go away. Wow, surprise, drink some water. Your body needs it and it will tell you as many times as it needs to until you get the message.

You're trying to lose weight? Drinking water will help with that, too. A lot of the time, you think you're hungry but you're actually thirsty. Have a glass of water and you'll be sure to over-eat less often.

Maybe your New Year's resolution was to be a healthier person. Well, I don't think I even have to tell you at this point, but drink water. Your body is 60 percent water, so it is a little important.

If these reasons aren't enough, it is possible to die from dehydration. Take advantage of the fact that the water you have is safe for you to drink and stop complaining that it tastes bad or doesn't taste like anything at all. If the taste really bothers you that much, I suggest mixing a bit of lemon juice in it. It makes it far more enjoyable to down those eight cups a day. And please don't buy plastic water bottles from the vending machines; those are wasteful. If, while reading this article, you tried to remember the last time you drank enough water, then it was too long ago. Go drink some water!

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.
