https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net

Spring break is most definitely the much-needed break that ALL college students need, especially because it always seems as if the second semester of the year is the most awful time of our school year. So we look to spring break as an escape, a break away from class work and responsibilities, time to go to popular spring break destinations with our best buddies to enjoy the sunshine, and for many.... lots and lots of alcohol. Now don't get me wrong, I am in college and I understand the hype and excitement for this time of the year... I get it. But you can still have a lot of fun while taking necessary precautions to being safe and responsible so that you don't put yourself in any harmful situations. So below are a few different tips on how to remain safe while having a great time.

1. Always use the buddy system.

2. Know your limit when it comes to alcohol and do not surpass it.

3. Share your location with family and friends just to be on the safe side.

4. Watch your drink AT ALL TIMES.

5. Research where you are staying and know the location prior to arriving.

6. Don't drink so much that you are no longer in control of yourself or your actions.

7. Ordering an angel shot at the bar could save your life.

8. Always go with your gut feeling. If it feels wrong, it probably is wrong.

9. If you choose to have sex, make sure you have safe sex.

10. If you ever find yourself in a harmful situation, ALWAYS call the police no matter what.

(who knows, he might be the hottie who shows up to rescue you.)



All in all, I hope I was able to provide to you all with some necessary insight and advice on being safe this spring break 2017!

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?

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.
