As semesters come to an end they always feel like they flew by. We sometimes forget all the details and small memories that pass us by while we are busy running towards summer. The result is that it doesn't feel like much happened by the time we get to the final week. However, it is important to remember that you did a lot this semester and you should not let it go unnoticed.


1. You probably did your laundry a few times.

2. That one time you were ahead on your homework.

3. Eating 3 meals a day.

It can be hard to find the time in your day to feed yourself three whole times but it's pretty cool when you make it work.

4. Going to the gym.

Who cares if it was just the week before Spring Break. All that matters is that you went.

5. Brushing your hair.

6. Feeding your pet.

7. Going to your morning class.

It doesn't matter if your first class is at 8 A.M. or 11 A.M., nobody ever is in the mood to go, but you went and I am proud of you.

8. You had at least one conversation with your TA.

9. You went to office hours (or maybe planned to).

10. You kept your high heels on the entire night.

11. You only called out of work like once.

12. You made your own doctor appointments.

13. You cleaned your room.

14. You sent an adult email.

15. You got out of bed the first time your alarm went off

16. You only spent money once during your day.

17. You probably finished multiple seasons of a show on Netflix.

18. You did that one thing for extra credit.

19. You kept a pretty decent planner.

20. You remembered to call your parents.

This is easy to do when your parents help you through those hard times.

21. Didn't get arrested.

22. Made new friends.

Whether it was joining a new organization or taking a different class, you met someone new that you really appreciate.

23. You made it to the library at least once.

24. You didn't loose your phone or keys while out.

25. You took your car to get an oil change.

26. You got an adequate amount of sleep that one night at the beginning of the semester.

27. You avoided that one crisis that one time at that one place with that one person

You know what I am talking about.

28. You were the mom of the group one night.

29. You stayed in that one time to study/do homework.

30. You passed (most of) your classes

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.
