I honestly can't believe that it's already time for one of my favorite weeks out of the fall semester (a close second behind Thanksgiving break). IT'S HOMECOMING WEEK 2016! There is a positive atmosphere during this week with all the school pride. I would have to say that's why I love this week so much. We set our individual differences aside (for the most part) and celebrate this university's rich and beautiful history.

Obviously, this is only 5 of the many activities and events going on during Homecoming Week. Click the link for the full list.

It's fun to see the offices you walk by every day all decorated up.

When and where: Tuesday 10 am, all of campus.

3. Campaniling & Cocoa and Kisses

People have differing opinions on Campaniling. To me? It's what you make of it. If you feel awkward going to it, go with some friends. If you don't want to participate, you don't have to, because also there's hot chocolate and chocolate kisses in Rod Library.

When and where: Friday/Saturday 12 am, Campanile Plaza and Library.

2. The Parade

I must confess I haven't been able to watch the parade in person because of outstanding circumstances. This year I can and you bet I will be watching with my bag ready for candy (I have no shame).

When and where: Saturday 11 am, Cedar Falls/UNI Campus

1. Tailgating/The Game

While I haven't tailgated before, I've heard it's an exciting and fun time to prepare for the game. Win or lose (hopefully win!), the point of the game and the week is to show your pride and loyalty to your school, aka the University of Nothing Impossible.

When and where: Saturday 4 pm, UNI Dome.

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.

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!)
