The Struggles of Giving Up Pizza for Lent

It's not you, pizza... It's lent.

Anyone who knows me can sum me up in just one word: Pizza. I have always been known by my friends as the local 'Pizza Slut', only because I would do everything and anything for that slice of delicious heaven. Nothing could ever seem to tear us apart...except for Lent. Regretfully, my friends and I decided to break up our beautiful relationship with pizza for a while and test our limits a bit. It seems so easy! What could possibly go wrong?

... It is going to be a problem when Jennifer Lawrence is literally your spirit animal when talking about pizza

It just looks so gosh darn good! How am I supposed to ignore it for 40 days?

The force practically took it straight out of my hands...

And now every time I hear the words 'pizza' come out of someone's mouth I'm like

I don't even care about my personal hygiene anymore

I just want to practically sink into it

Or literally roll around in it

Or something not as messy... Maybe just simply dance around with it for awhile

Or turn into the beautiful pizza princess that I truly am

Because I swear I am seeing pizza practically everywhere now

I just can't stop thinking about pizza!!!

Pizza seems to solve all of my problems

Because it is such a beautiful, beautiful thing

After these 40 days, I'll be doing this when finally being able to treat myself

And I'll even start carrying around my own personal pizza pouch to show my dedication

I am just counting down the days until I can have sweet, sweet pizza back in my life...

Don't give up on me now, pizza, you will always have a special place in my heart. It's not you... it's lent.

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.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

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?
