5 Signs You're Ready To Go Back To School
PInterest

Bring it on spring 2017!

Being on hiatus from school for three weeks we can't deny that we're missing the day to day action of being a college student. I won't deny it! The signs were relevant as soon as Christmas came and went. Here are some signs you're going through school withdrawal:


1. Counting Down The Days.

During school days, I couldn't wait for winter break to put in its annual appearance. This meant a little over three weeks off from homework, writing papers, tests, and final exams. At the end of the semester, I couldn't help missing the hecticness of the school days. Only three weeks left, I told myself, and then it'll start all over.


2. Sleeping-In Isn't Such A Big Deal.

Maybe I'm in denial, but sleep hasn't been high on my to-do list since finishing the semester. Don't get me wrong; I love sleep. But who doesn't, right?! I have been pulling many late nights, but my internal clock is so used to my school schedule, my conscience forbids me to waste my free days sleeping them away.


3. Missing Friends.

I have made many good friends at school, and though we keep in touch via Facebook, it just isn't the same as seeing and conversing in person. Feels like we've been apart for three months, not three weeks!


4. Making Spring/Summer Plans.

I do the winter season an injustice mentioning spring and summer. But I can't help thinking and planning ahead to those warm days when school will be nearing its end, and making way for summer fun. Stephens College offers many fun spring activities, so that definitely has me excited, too.


5. Keeping Busy.

As much as I love my breaks, I can't help feeling a little bored as soon as I'm left waiting for school to start again. I've read four books over the course of three weeks, rearranged my entire room, did house cleaning, and caught up on TV shows. There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the time away from reality. But for me, I am so accustomed to working daily, so when I do have a break I feel as though I need to be doing something. I guess this comes from working for over ten years.


I am excited to kickstart another year at college and be challenged academically. I know it's going to be a great year!


Thanks for reading! :)

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.
