Advice for a Burnt Out College Kid From Another Burnt Out College Kid

Hey, friend. I know it’s been hard but I want you to know that you’re not alone. You’re not the only one dreading class and feeling lost during it. You’re not the only one who just wants to curl up in a ball in your bed and eat all the candy the nearby Rite-Aid sells. You’re not the only one who has experienced a meltdown in the middle of a test. It seems that when you “burn out”, you lose motivation to do anything, even attend fun football games on the weekend and go out with friends. You spend a lot of time laying down and sleeping. It sounds fun to do nothing but sleep but if you’re the kind of person with 800 responsibilities like most college students, it is truly awful. So over the semester I’ve learned a lot of ways to deal with the stress and the

10 Signs You’re Not Good at Giving Advice

When a friend is having a bad day or just looks particularly sad you’re likely to go up to them and ask what’s wrong. It’s a common reaction that all friends have. The person may be willing to open up to you, but that doesn’t always mean that you’re the right person they should be talking to. Sometimes as much as we would love to help people and give them advice, we’re just bad at giving it. If you know you’re bad at it then you can at least be there to support your friend. But sometimes people just don’t know they’re bad at giving advice, so here are 10 signs that you are. 10. You say “I’m sorry” a lot. When people need advice, they don’t want to just hear “I’m sorry” because sorry doesn’t really do anything. You may not have known what else to say, but sometimes not saying anything at all

An Open Letter To Procrastination

Dear Procrastination, I don’t understand you. I don’t understand why you’re so tempting or why you have such a hold on me. I know you’re bad for me, but for some reason I can’t get you out of my system. You’re a drug and I’m the addict. You know all of my weaknesses and use them against me. Whenever I need to get work done you’re always waiting on the sidelines for me to slip up and fall back into your graces. There’ll be times when I’m ready to give up on you, but then you dig your claws right back in. There’s no catching a break with you. What exactly draws me to you? Is it the promise of fun and adventure that you leave? Is it the sweet nothings you always whisper softly to me? You taste so sweet, but your aftertaste is always bitter. You’re so good and yet so

A Letter to my Netflix Account

To my Netflix account, You and I have been together for a few years now. I’ll admit that at first I was slightly timid towards you because I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but now you are one of the most important things in my life. I still remember how we met. It all started out when my brother signed up for a free trial. Then after a while I realized that I needed more of you in my life. I would see your bright name in the darkness and realize that you were exactly what I needed. However, sometimes you take things a little too far. You only want what’s best for me, but sometimes it’s just overbearing. I know that you don’t want me wasting my life away watching TV shows, but I think after I click “continue watching” once, you should get the hint. I thank you from the bottom of
