10 Signs That You Have "End of the School Year-itus"
https://sydwon.wordpress.com/

The birds are singing, the sun is shining, and, wait, you mean I still have to sit inside this school building all day? For how much longer? Two more weeks? Ugh.

I know how you feel. With summer vacation just around the corner, gathering the strength to wake up at 6:30 a.m. and practically crawl to school every day is getting tougher and tougher. So, to help you regain that little extra boost you need to finish out this school year with a bang, I've compiled a list of 10 symptoms that you may be experiencing if you have "End of the School Year-itus." Even though this disease may be contagious (and from what I hear, most all students have it by now), you need not fret because this disease won't kill you if you recognize the symptoms early.

1. You have a hard time listening in class anymore.

Mendeleev who? Algebra what? Summer reading huh? You're pretty sure your teacher's turned into one of those inaudible adults from Charlie Brown because everything your teacher says goes in one ear and out the other. At this point, all you can do to survive is stare aimlessly out the window at the shining sun and 80-degree weather and imagine that you're actually at the beach.


2. You've written, "Have a great summer!" in everyone's yearbook.

You know that school's almost out when you finally receive your yearbook. Even though you may only have one picture in your yearbook (you know, your school photo), you're still eager to have everyone sign your book so that one day you can prove that you actually had friends in high school. As others hand you their yearbooks, though, you're brain's already so set on getting out of school and summer vacation that all you can write is, "Have a great summer!" You most definitely never wrote, "Can't wait to see you in the fall!"


3. You're very tempted to just go ahead and burn all of your past assignments and papers.

You may have finished all of your lessons and classwork for the year, but your teacher "insists" that you keep your notebooks for future use. Use? Um, I don't plan to use this notebook ever again. Say, my friend is having a bonfire this weekend. Maybe she can find some "use" for my notebook...


4. Your brain has exceeded its capacity for knowledge and refuses to function any further.

You've made it. You've survived the whole year through your pre-calc class and, wait, why are we starting on Calculus? This is pre-calculus, so can't calculus just wait till next year? Another test? There's only one week left! And an exam? Nope, not doing it. My brain's 16 GB memory has been exceeded. You'll have to buy me an upgraded brain to get anything more out of me.


5. You hit snooze so many times that you end up getting up 10 minutes before you actually have to leave.

Remember at the beginning of the year where you had an amazing routine where you woke up every morning at 6:00 a.m., did a full face of makeup and made yourself a lunch worthy of a five-star Yelp review? I'm guessing that routine has gone down the drain by now. Eh, who needs perfectly applied MAC lipstick and lobster thermidor for lunch when you have 30 extra minutes of sleep, right?


6. And anytime you have the chance to sleep at school, you take full control of that opportunity.

The lights are off, the teacher's playing a movie that you've seen 20 times, and everyone else is either talking or scrolling through Twitter. Perfect time for a nap.

*Shuts eyes and falls asleep*

Wait, next period already started? No big deal, I'll be late. We're watching a movie in there, too.


7. You panic about exams because they're important but you have no mental strength to study for them.

I've already taken 12 tests, done 50 projects, and practically given an arm and leg to this class, so is it really necessary that you give an exam that's worth 20 percent of my grade? Wait, you want me to remember stuff from January? Remember the "my brain is at capacity" part?


8. You stopped trying with you appearance ages ago.

At this point, you're probably just blindly reaching in your closet and grabbing random articles of clothing to get by with. If you're lucky, your t-shirt and sweatpants will match.


9. You've grown sad because you're not going to see 99 percent of your friends all summer.

Let's face it: school may bog you down with homework and tests, but it's the one place you get to spend practically every day with your friends. When school ends and no one is forced to socialize anymore, you'll probably only end up hanging out with one or two people all summer and will basically become a social hermit.


10. But despite your semi-ambiguous feelings about school ending, you can't wait to get the heck out of this place and be free during summer vacation.

You've got a countdown going of the days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds until school gets out for summer and won't have to come back to this place for three months. However, don't focus too much on the end goal; spend these last couple of weeks with your amazing friends while studying for your final exams so you can end this school year with a bang. You can do this!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
