Always Go For Those Instagram Giveaways, You Never Know

If you're an avid Instagram user, you've seen giveaway posts and probably wondered, "Is this a scam? Should I enter? Is it worth it?"

Well, I entered one and won a $300 gift card to poppyandroseclothing.com and it was extremely worth my time to tag hundreds of people for that.

So, if you see a giveaway and it seems legit, go for it! Here's why...

Honestly, you have a better chance of winning than you think.

I know it doesn't seem like it, but when you scroll past those giveaways, other people do too. So it is worth it to tag a couple of people and see if the raffle goes in your favor.

What do you have to lose?

We all want that perfect Instagram, but if tagging a repost on your story for an extra 5 entries is really going to damage your reputation, it's not. Calm down, sweetie.

The people you are tagging understand. 

Listen, I have been tagged in multiple of these giveaways and the most it makes me think is, "Wait, should I enter?" It is worth it to try and see if you can win, and the people you are tagging won't bat an eye. If they do, tell them to enter.

I won $300 worth of clothes during Christmas. I just saved $300 and am getting a lot of new outfits with it. This is definitely something to consider. Save money. Tag a friend.

The feeling of winning is better than a 9 oz. filet mignon 

It is. Trust me, I found out how worth it these giveaways are. Tag someone, what do you have to lose?

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.

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?
