What To Do In 2019
Meredith Waetherford

Each of these things are simple, but very important especially to twenty-somethings. Take your eyes off of an electronic screen and enjoy what else life has to offer. Make good memories, grow closer to those you love, and become a better person.

1. Take a break from social media.

2. Take a lot of pictures.

3. Find a new hobby.

4. Have a "me" day once a month. 

Spend one day a month spoiling yourself by yourself.

5. Do something to help someone else.

6. Do something you've always wanted to do, but for whatever reason have never done. 

7. Start reading. 

8. Set a list of goals you want accomplished by 2020.

9. Write down significant memories from 2019 with dates.

10. Try new foods.

11. Stop drinking and eating so much junk. 

Your body relies on nutrients, not processed foods.

12. Find a good motivational speaker or pastor to watch/listen to.

13. Visit 19 new places you've never been.

I guarantee you that you wouldn't even have to leave the state you're in.

14. Volunteer at an animal shelter, soup kitchen, or children's home.

15. Go on a trip somewhere that will humble you.

You don't have to fly to another country for this. If interested, comment and let's talk.

16. Forgive everyone who has hurt you.

Holding back apologies is more damaging to you than it is to them.

17. Spend time with those you love.

Family, friends, mentors, significant others, etc.

18. Raise money for something.

Plenty of charities already exist, you don't have to start one to do this.

19. Pick one thing and focus on making it better throughout the year.

Relationships, financial status, faith, self-love, etc.

Make it your goal for 2019 to be the best year of your life.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

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.
