Back To School With Michael Scott

"Welcome back, jerky jerk-face."

Back To School With Michael Scott

You've been counting down the days until break is over with a few coping mechanisms:

Constantly talking to your school friends,

Complaining about how you just want to be back at school,

Sleeping (because dreaming you're at school is significantly better than reality),

Finding new pregame music,

Spending an excessive amount of time with family because you maybe, eh, might, eh, miss them in a week or so,

Laying in bed wishing and daydreaming you were at school in your smaller, less comfy bed,

And expressing how you would trade academic hell to be back.

But FINALLY, the time is here! The new semester is just a week or so away, and you can't contain your excitement!

While other people are dreading school...

You're happily (and quickly) heading back.

You've arrived at your apartment/house/dorm and spot a friend.

You've accepted the adjustment from home to school food, and can't wait to dig into the cookies, pizza, and fries!

You've promised yourself you won't prioritize Netflix this semester...

But, you're somehow still adding to the long list of movies you're planning to watch with (or without) friends.

You've modeled all of your new clothes for friends, because your closet is their closet (and visa versa).

And suddenly, it's the first night out. Although you had sworn to survive the night, you can't help but get a little too enthusiastic and intoxicated.

But OH NO, the first friend has hit the ground! (We're sorry our tolerance is so low, school. It's your fault break is a month long!)

The next morning, you declare you'll look for (and find) ~love~ this semester...

But, when that probably fails, at least you've got your friends.

See you in almost a week, Cornell!

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.
