35 Ways To Spend Your Time Instead Of Stressing About That Boy

We've all encountered them. They're the worst kind of boys. You wonder how they even made it this far in life because they're just that immature. But fear not, for there are plenty of things in life that are much better for you than boys could ever be. Consult this list when you need a pick-me-up.

1. Getting really good manicure

2. Getting a massage

3. Watching "Notting Hill"

4. Eating Ben & Jerry's "Phish Food"

5. Going on a really long run to clear your head (and distract from the fact that you just ate Ben & Jerry's)

6. Binge-watching Stranger Things Season 2

7. Getting PSL from Starbucks

8. Re-reading your favorite book

9. Investing in an adult coloring book (or five)

Seriously, pick one up from Michael's. They make them with inspirational Bible quotes , flowers , swear words , even Harry Potter characters . Speaking of...

10. Watching Harry Potter weekends on Freeform

11. Getting a paycheck

12. Spending your whole paycheck

13. Watching Friends marathons on MTV

14. Getting last minute tickets to a great concert

Disclaimer: Did this last Sunday. $67 to see Niall Horan the morning of his show in Philly. Definitely worth it.

15. Having wine nights with your girlfriends

16. Putting on face masks

17. Going to the beach

18. Enjoying some freshly baked muffins

19. Going to a college basketball game

20. Going to Chipotle

21. Having a Honey Roast with your friends

Honey Roast definition: The act of roasting a person, except you only say nice things about them.

22. Enjoying that moment when you make it to your morning class after a night out

23. Savoring the feeling when you walk out of your last exam before Winter Break

24. Cooking for yourself and not burning a single thing (#adulting)

25. Making a cup of tea on a rainy day

26. Listening to Christmas music and getting hyped up

27. Tagging your friends in memes on Facebook

28. Getting tagged by your friends in memes on Facebook

29. Watching your favorite Vines (#RIP)

And for good measure, here's my favorite.

30. Watching One Direction dance parties (also #RIP)

31. Having Sunday brunch

32. Buying a ton of new makeup

33. Reading the latest Vogue

November's cover star is Daisy Ridley, so get hype for The Last Jedi.

34. Going on a shopping spree with your mom

35. Having a picnic in the park with your sisters

I can personally attest to how great this is. Central Park in late June with a picnic blanket and some sandwiches. Head to Sheep Meadow. No boys allowed.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
