The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and everything sucks.

12 Worst Things About The End Of Spring Semester
@karam_y

The end of the school year sucks. Typically, I feel burnt out, I went to spend every sunshiney day outside and (paradoxically) I don't want the semester to end. While there's some great things about the end of the spring semester (ahem, no school work), I honestly think it sucks.

1. Warm weather

UGH. This has got to be the WORST THING!!! Boston sees the sunshine and has warm temperatures typically starting after I leave the city. I love it here but spending 9/12 months where it's mainly jeans and sweater weather?? Kind of annoying. I want to kayak on the Charles!! I want to take a boat cruise!! LET ME ENJOY IT

2. All my friends are graduating

This is stupid and you all should stay.

3. Panic about what to do over the summer

The panic typically starts over winter break and doesn't end until mid-April. Currently, I'm still panicking but things are fine.

4. Registering for classes and housing

Watching the choices for housing slowly disappear every second as well as watching the classes that you chose for the most perfect class schedule disappear is the saddest thing. Everything is wrong and then you're stressed for eternity.

5. Time goes faster

Literally wasn't spring break last week and not two months ago?? How is it mid-April? How are there only 3 weekends left? Did this past week even happen? What have I been doing? I don't think I've had fun in 3 months.

6. Being apart from friends for 4 months

This is mad lame and I think there should be a law that college is forever so my friends don't leave me.

7. Trying to pull an A for a class you're failing out of nowhere

I realized the other week that an exam I bombed was worth 25% of my grade so that's great and I guess I'll just have to laugh through the pain hahahah. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

8. Missing out on events

All the clubs on campus start having their "The Event Of The Year!" and they all coincide on the same dates at the same times and it's also beautiful weather so I'm really just trying to enjoy some Vitamin D, sorry I can't come to your tambourine concert. The summer in Boston is also chock full of crazy cool things to do outside and it's such a bummer to miss out.

9. Moving out

OK, how did I get all these things into my room in one car?? How am I accumulating even more stuff?? Is that possible??

10. Missing all your favorite food places

If you aren't staying at school for the summer, you'll definitely miss all your favorite places (I know I do).

11. Figuring out where your textbooks came from... or where they're located

Did I rent this from Barnes & Noble? Or was that Chegg? Did my Amazon account expire? Did I purchase this book?? I didn't even read this it. I don't even know where it is. How do I return these things??

12. Telling people "let's hang out this summer!" knowing full well you won't

Ah, yes. Hollow promises of "let's go to the beach!" and "let me know if you'll be in the city!!" all are just kind of sad, aren't they?

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.
