20 Reasons To Look Forward To Summer

As finals week is quickly approaching, stress is at an all time high, and morale is at an all time low. At least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We're only one week away from four months of relaxation, sleeping until noon every day, and not having to worry about exams. Sure, we'll miss school while we're gone, but right now all we can think about is home cooked meals and no responsibilities. Here are a few things to look forward to once we finally get through this hell week.

1. Home cooked meals.

2. Seeing your pet.

3. Being back with family.

4. Reuniting with home friends.

5. Not having to do laundry.

6. Putting your jeans away for the season.

7. No exams, 8 AMs, or clicker points on Friday classes to worry about.

8. Basement parties, despite how lame they may seem compared to Penn State's frats.

9. The biggest responsibility we have being a part-time job.

10. Eating at our favorite restaurants.

11. Not being hungover 85% of the time.

12. Trips to the beach.

13. No longer being translucently pale.

14. Having time to watch Netflix, and maybe even read a book?

15. Bonfires.

16. Barbecues.

17. Outdoor concerts.

18. Driving with the windows down and music blasting.

19. It's like a 4 month long spring break.

20. Last but certainly not least, Arts Fest. Let's be real, by mid-July we'll be dying to get back to State.

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.
