Here's how to keep it together this semester

It's a new semester and new you! And although you want to say that you've changed since last year, old habits die hard, and it is easy to fall back into procrastination or losing track of your notes. For example, I have already left my wildcard in my room twice this week! (Luckily, I did not have to call pub safe…). Here are five tips to help you stay on track of your stuff:

1. Keep an organized planner

Using a weekly planner can help you keep track of deadlines as well as any meetings during your busy week! You can also use it to remind yourself to buy books or remember to bring your laptop to lab.

2. Go to the gym, like, actually go.

...Or work out in your room! Exercise is a perfect way to relieve your stress, plus it is important for your health and it can be fun! Whether it is a jog on the treadmill or hardcore abs, you are being more productive than those sitting on the couch!

3. Balance your free time effectively

As interesting as it is to scroll through Instagram and other social media to see what the rest of the world is up to, try to refrain yourself from these distractions! Breaks are good for you, but if you are distracted on your phone a lot, you will lose focus more easily

4. Be sure to get enough sleep (even if it's through naps)

After a busy day, sleep is soo important for your body to relax and that way you will feel refreshed the next day. Even napping is a great idea!

5. Make your bed because it ACTUALLY helps

Right when you wake up after your five alarms, make your bed. Although this sounds like a simple task, it is the small details that make you feel so much more productive.


Don't stress out! You got it dude!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
