My Nightmare Before Christmas

Travelling for the holidays is hell sometimes.

December 19, 2016 at 8:30am my boyfriend and I left my parents house to head to the airport. We were headed to Nevada to spend Christmas with his parents. Everything was going well until we reached our layover in Denver. We arrived 30 minutes early which normally would be great but that day it wasn't because it just made our three hour layover longer. So we ate lunch, wandered around, got some Starbucks, then went to our gate. Then, at 4:20pm our flight was cancelled. What you don't see in the video is the fact that we were in one line and were next when the attendant had to leave to go take care of an incoming flight which is what put is in the mile long line. We stood in that line for four hours, were on the phone four two, and eventually got a flight out....but not until the next night. We had a very helpful United attendant help us make sure our bags would arrive even though our new flight was with American. We then caught a shuttle to a hotel where we dropped off our stuff then walked to Applebees for dinner.

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.
