An Open Letter to my Family After Finals Week

Dear Family,

I am coming home for the holidays and I cannot wait to see every last one of you. Being away from home this long as been pretty hard. I missed everything, from eating some good food to arguing a little with my younger sisters to even trying to be the loudest in the room so everyone hears your story. But, I have just went through one of the most stressful weeks of a college students life. Finals week, is not a fun time whatsoever...every professor for some reason thinks that their class is the only class we have. Meaning, I just wrote way too many papers, took way too many exams, had very little sleep, and not to mention I still had work. Should I even mention all of the food I have devoured that is not good for me at all... pizza, ramen, donuts, chips, every fast foo place in Boone and of course more junk food(gross, I know).

At this point, I am still awaiting my final grades, so when you ask me how I did in class, I really don't know for many of the classes. I may be in a unhappy mood sometimes from not knowing what grades my teachers are going to give me. Its very stressful considering, I just spent my entire week doing school work and I still don't have a grade for some of it. For all I know I could completely fail two of my classes since my Professor hasn't even graded the first thing I turned in for the entire semester. By the time I get my grades back there will be nothing I can do, my grade is my grade and thats what makes me so nervous. But anyway I will be doing all I can do ignore the fact that I don't know how I did in the classes.

I know every single one of you are very excited to see me and I am excited to see you. But if I don't rush over to your house as soon as I get back, know I still love you and I will see you soon. I am just recovering from finals week because for some reason finals week, every college student manages to get sick... and yes I am one of them. Invite me over I promise I will come!

This semester has been very stressful and I have never been happier for it to be over. I'm ready to have quality family time. My friends mean the world to me and they have stepped up and been the family that I need when everyone of y'all are around. But there is nothing like my crazy family. I cannot wait to be around you all no matter how loud ya'll are. I just need time to be me around people I know will always be there for me.

I am ready for late night game nights, good food, and genuine family time. The month that I spend home is going to be great and I cannot wait until I see you all.

Love everyone of ya'll,

The College Student

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.

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.
