Advice To Those Balancing Work And School
Patten Edu

To the typical student working their butt off going to school and managing any type of job. Whether it's a full-time job or part-time job. Remind yourself to take a break. Breathe, try to have fun and relax a little bit.

Managing a tight schedule can overwhelm anyone. Whether it's because of the stress from managing a full course load or it's work expectations, responsibilities and stress from coworkers. A word of advice to those who can relate, take some time for yourself. Go out and have some fun with your friends, don't be afraid to take off a day off or two, and if you ever feel like you're taking on the world on your shoulders, ask for help.

It can be easy to feel like there are not enough hours in the day. You are constantly having a mental breakdown every time you realize you can't complete a simple task such as doing laundry because you don't have the time with work, school, and studying.

Just keep in mind this is not forever, it's not long term or permanent. This is just a little bit of what you have to give up now to help build a better future for yourself. Just have faith and remember it'll be worth it in the end.

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.
