5 Things To Remember At The End Of The Semester
TeenLife

The end of a semester brings a lot of stress; there's finals to study for and projects that are due, and not one of your professors seems to care that you have other classes. Even though you seem to be drowning in all of your work it's important to take a step back and breathe for a little bit. Your education is important, but so is your health. Here's a list of five things to remember as we approach the end of the semester.

It's ok to be stressed

At this point in the semester, it's almost impossible to avoid stress- just know your limits. Take breaks while studying, make sure you're eating healthy meals and getting enough sleep. Find ways to relieve stress, like going to the gym or seeing some friends.

Hard work means success

Working hard on your assignments will get you good grades. Getting good grades mean graduating with honors. Even though it seems hard, it's so important to keep pushing through until the end of the semester! Pay attention in class and know what you need to study. Go and talk to your professors. Ask questions. All of your hard work eventually pays off.

Your friends and family are there to help

Human interaction is important, and it's easy to forget that when you have so much to do. Your friends are just as busy as you this time of year, so get yourselves outside and do something. Your family and friends are your biggest supporters- they will help you in any way they can! Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Don't stay in your room

It might be a comfortable and quiet place to study, but getting up and moving around will help you. Your brain can only retain so much information at once, so every couple of hours get up and go outside, get some fresh air, take a walk, and then get back to it. Changing where you study might be helpful too. Go to the library and try studying with a group of classmates.

You will make it through this

Everything that comes will soon pass. Your exams will come and go, and all you can do is prepare as well as you can. Keep your head up and don't worry too much. You can do it!

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.
