An Open Letter To The Struggling College Student

Dear Struggling College Student,

I'm sorry that you just opened this article and are also struggling this mid semester. College may be considered some of the greatest years of our lives, but it definitely isn't easy.

Right now you may be procrastinating writing that seven page psychology paper that you could care less about. Maybe you just finished a biology project that took you a week to complete. You may feel like both assignments are pointless now, but I promise...

It will all be worth it.

Today you may have walked out of an exam knowing you completely bombed it and at this rate it seems like you'll be sitting in the same class next semester. You may feel like you're a failure and just want to give up, but I promise...

It will all be worth it.

Halloween is around the corner and you decide you want to go all out this year, but check your bank account and realize three dollars and twenty seven cents sure isn't going to cover it. You wish that you graduated and had a real job already, but I promise...

It will all be worth it.

Maybe your reading this as you sit in the dining hall eating the same crappy food you seem to get everyday. You wish you were home eating one of your mom's special meals, but I promise...

It will all be worth it.

You look in the mirror and wonder when you're actually going to start that diet. Then you realize it's practically impossible to eat healthy and have a good work out schedule in college, but I promise...

It will all be worth it.

The boy or girl that you hooked-up with last weekend may not have texted you back still. For a second, you wish you were already past this stage and had your love life figured out, but I promise...

It will all be worth it.

To those reading this while going on their third straight night in the library, I commend you. You may feel like crap right now, but I promise you...

It will all be worth it.

You may be questioning why you decided to take eighteen credits this semester to get ahead, but I promise you...

It will all be worth it.

No matter what your major is, college is tough one way or another. At the end of the day always remember you're there for a reason and I promise you...

It will all be worth it.

Good luck,

Victoria

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.
