1. Clean your room.

Don’t hate just yet. If you’re anything like me the end of your semester was incredibly hectic and you probably didn’t have time to clean your room...or your car...or anything at all. But getting rid of all the clutter will make you feel great and productive afterward. Plus you will have a nice clean space to binge the Netflix you’ve been missing.

2. Sleep in for once. Enough said.

3. Read a book, for fun. Not one you were assigned to read for class.

4. Get in the Christmas spirit.

I recommend finding a place where they put up lots of lights and just walk around enjoying the sights, perhaps in the company of good friends


5. Indulge in your hobbies.

Some of your favorite things to do may have been put on the back burner for the sake of studying and finishing those end of semester projects, but now you can use some of that extra time simply to do the things you love!

6. Go on a road trip.


Whether it’s back home or someplace new with friends- turn up the music and just drive.

7. Shake the dust.

If this semester was tough and maybe you didn’t do so hot--or even failed a class or two--or had any number of things impede your learning or social life, do not let it keep you down. It’s over now, pick yourself up and shake the dust off yourself, take some time to reevaluate and rejuvenate and when the spring semester starts again do not let the missteps from the past boggle you. You got this!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
