Back To School After Spring Break, As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'
Screener

Spring break may quite possibly be the best week of the whole entire spring semester. There's no classes, you can take a road trip with friends, lay on the beach, and sleep as much as you like. It's a pretty great break, until it's over. After spring break, finals are right around the corner and all motivation is lost. So, here's what it's truly like for a college student to return to school after break as told by Parks and Recreation.

1. As you wake up for your first class, you will probably feel dead inside.

If you went on a crazy spring break trip, your body has more than likely not adjusted to waking up and going to class just yet.

2. When you get to class, the professor will ask everyone how their break was, which isn't important to you.

No Becky, I don't want to hear about your trip to Spain. I only care about how fun my beach trip was, okay?

3. After you make it through classes, you'll need to buy lunch. But, spring break took all your money and you're poor.

I can't afford the luxury meals in the student union, so I guess instant mac-and-cheese will have to do for now.

4. Since you'll be busy with new assignments, you may start to have withdrawals from members of your #springbreaksquad.

Yes, I spent every moment with you last week, but I miss you already.

5. Besides going to classes, you'll have to go back to work at your job.

Why did spring break have to end?

6. You'll then realize that your next break isn't until summer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

7. And this leads to loss of motivation to do well in classes.

Honestly, C's get degrees.

8. You'll take a nap and try to forget about all your responsibilities, but they are still there when you wake up.

This is just a dream. Spring break can't be over.

9. Eventually, you'll get back in the swing of things and work towards summer break.

I can do this. Just a few more weeks.

10. While summer break will be amazing, you'll always remember the memories of #SpringBreak2k17

RIP spring break 2k17.


So while the struggle is real after spring break is over, just remember summer break is right around the corner. And, there will always be a spring break next year!

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.

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.
