She's just as done as you are.

15 Mid-Semester Slump Feelings, As Told By Jessica Jones

Jessica Jones is a hard-drinking, short-fused mess of a woman, and she also happens to be the titular character in Netflix's original Marvel series. Jessica has superpowers, but she mostly just sleeps, drinks, and is generally frustrated with humans as a whole. So basically, she's all of us during the mid-semester slump.


1. Like when you realize you've might have been going out a little too often lately...

Oops.


2. And you might be starting to overestimate you ability to coast.

You've already used up all your skip days.


3. Your love life is tanking, and your social skills are lackluster at best.

How do you interact with other humans?


4. You have to admit, you have a problem.

And you have to do something about it, unless you want to really do some damage.


5. You usually do pretty well in school, but now even your teachers are starting to wonder what's going on.

Yikes.


6. You start thinking about all the things you have to do and should do to fix this.

Nothing seems to be working.


7. Every little thing annoys you.

Your neighbors blasting music is not helping you focus.


8. You no longer have the patience to deal with people.

You just want to stay in bed and watch Netflix all day.


9. When your parents ask how you've been doing, you tell them not to worry.

What they don't know won't hurt them.


10. Your friends' attempts to help can sometimes be misguided.

They mean well, but you're not ready to rejoin the world of the productive.


11. Eventually, you start making plans and setting small goals for yourself.

It's hard, but you work on it.


12. Of course, something inevitably delays your plans.

You get sick. You have to cover someone's shift. Your professor springs a pop quiz on you. The list goes on.


13. You tell yourself that at least you tried.

But maybe it's better to just nap all day.


14. Eventually, though, things start to improve.

And before you know it, you're doing just fine.


So keep going! The end of the semester is almost here. Make sure it ends on a good note!

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.
