5 Stages Of Summer Break

Having a little more than three months off for summer break is an exciting thing to think about when were dragging through the last month or two of the Spring semester. Everyone gets hyped up for summer, no more finals, no more classes at 8 a.m., and no more crappy cafeteria food. But by the time it hits July, most of us are ready to go back.

1. Summer Hype


Those few minutes is "High School Musical 2' just tell it all. Once the mid-spring semester hits, you are ready to pack up and go home. You sit there counting down the days until you finally get to go home and see your dog, and the friends that you left behind at home.

2. You get home and just prepare to catch up on the sleep finals didn't allow you to have


Finals week and the weeks leading up tend to be the weeks that you get less and less sleep as the days approach. Professors assign papers all at once, and lets not forget about the 11 page lab report that's due all on the same day as your finals and lets not forget about the process of packing everything up to go home. So by the time you get home, you just want to sleep.

3. You have an expectation of summer being nothing but eventful


Summer can be expected to be filled with nothing but adventure and fun and doing new things. But sometimes when reality hits, you realize you have no money, and there is never really anything to do in your town. So nights will usually consist of doing the same thing or pulling out your jar of change to switch it up a bit.

4. Family Vacation

Usually summer will consist of one or two vacations with your family, whether its down the shore for a week or a few days or an amusement park. That will leave one thing to look forward to but once it comes and goes, you get back home, and you are back where you started, trying to find something to do. But, hey, at least you are tan.

5. When is the first day of classes?


It is now mid-summer and you are just waiting to move back in or get back into the routine of classes because there is just nothing else to do. I am sure we will all regret the thought of wanting to go back to school once we get passed syllabus week.

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.
