Remember that I'm always a call away.

Open Letter To My Best Friend That Isn't At College With Me
Derrika Soto Gerena

Dear bestie,

You are out following your dream, while I am following mine.You chose your own path and, sadly, that did not lead you to come to school with me. But that doesn't mean that I have forgotten about you. Not even close. While you are not here with me psychically, you are here in spirit. And with the help of some technology.

Our constant string of Snapchats, FaceTimes, texts, and calls makes it feel like you're right here with me. It always helps to know that I can reach you in two-point- five seconds. Also, probably the fact that there are pictures of us all over my dorm. You have been my day one since junior year of high school. And I am beyond grateful for all the love and good times that we have shared.

Thank you for always being there for me when no one else was. We have helped each other out through some tough times, but to be honest, I wouldn't have wanted to go through them with anyone else. But let's remember all the good times that we have had. All of the late night drives and going out to dinner, even though we were both on the verge of being broke. Endless laughs are sure to be present any time that we hang out. Hanging out with you is a crazy rollercoaster ride, well with your driving skills it basically is. These good times are what I think of when I'm missing you the most.

Since that won't be happening anytime soon, it's time to reminisce. Don't worry all of my friends know that you're my number one. I talk about you way too much! *insert eye roll because I don't even like you that much* I wish that you were at college with me so that we could have some crazy adventures. So that I could have a going out buddy. So that I could have someone that would go to McDonald's with me at midnight for some chicken nuggets.

I live for the weekends that I come home and we can hang out. Not having you by my side every day is beyond rough. We make sure that whatever amount of time that we have together, we make the most of it. You make me forget that after the weekend I have to go back to school work and not having you there.

Even though leaving you was hard, I would do it all over again. We are both out there chasing our dreams. Just remember that you're my number one (I better still be yours, because if not we're going to have some major problems)! And to answer your phone, if I'm calling or texting that means that I have some dirt to share with you!

From,

The girl that has an empty futon waiting for whenever you want to come visit

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
