5 Reasons To Drop EVERYTHING And Visit Barcelona Today

I recently spent my spring break in Barcelona and here are five reasons why your next trip has to be to Barcelona.

The food is phenomenal

Vibrant in both colors and favors, the food and beverages in Barcelona are something you never knew you needed in your life until now.

2. The views are stunning

Weather you're looking down at the Mediterranean from the cable cars or walking through Park Guell, the view from the ground and from above are stunning and I promise you, your breath will be taken away.

3.  The generous hospitality

Never have I ever been to a city where I have felt so welcome and loved. Spainards are the kindest people I have encountered on my trip across Europe and if you're from the mid-west, you'd love Barcelona for the people.

4.  The sun is always shining and the flowers are always blooming

Coming from cold and rainy London, Barcelona was a huge slap in the face with its warm weather and blooming flowers. Did I mention the variety of flowers and other plants in Barcelona? Everywhere you look, flowers are blooming. If you're a nature freak or strive for aesthetic Instagram photos, Barcelona and its gardens are for you!

5.  La Rambla

No matter what it is that you fancy- food, shopping, or sight seeing, La Rambla is for you. La Rambla is a mile long street market that is sure to have something for everyone. From food vendors to souvenirs, everyone will leave satisfied. Did I mention everything in La Rambla is stupid cheap? For 5 Euro you can eat a whole meal! If you go to the right place, of course.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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!)
