A Few Thank You's Before I Go...

Before summer break arrives, a few shout-outs to those who made this year noteworthy.

A Few Thank You's Before I Go...

Countless hours studying, many hours partying and a million stories to tell your friends back home. That is the sum up of this past year for many. But if you're like I am, those moments make your college life oh so sweet.

Library.

Thank you to the people at the library who have seen me look like a hermit in a sweatshirt that is five sizes too big even for my 5-foot-11 frame and still did not judge how I looked. Thank you for also not judging how much food I brought with me as I binge-studied for impossible finals.

Roommates.

Thank you for always dealing with my dumb ass that overcooks microwave mac and cheese. Oh and the mental breakdowns I have when college is just way too stressful at times. I don't know what I would do without late-night therapy sessions and random dance parties.

Frats.

Thanks for throwing some crazy-ass parties. Without you guys giving us a place to go, memories definitely wouldn't have been made (i.e. I wouldn't have laughed my ass off as much as I have). Even though your floors are sticky, you never have toilet paper and you guys can be a-holes, college would definitely not be the same without you.

Squad.

This one's for my partners in crime who I make memories with at the frats, ghetto houses and the good ol' library. You are the most diverse group of friends, but I don't know what I would do without any of you. Y'all make college the shiznit and make me so excited for the years to come.

Parents.

Gotta give a shout out to the people who gave me life because they are cute and corny and old. The text messages and phone calls during the week definitely help stressful weeks ease out a little bit. Oh and thanks for sending food and money because I need to learn how to manage my money better. :-)

Sisters.

You da realest, and y'all know why. Thanks for being my rock and always up to go to Puerta's, Noodles or any other high-calorie eatery. Also for never turning down a study date or turning up in the clerb (safely, of course).

There are many more I would like to thank, but the music is playing and the Academy wants me off stage. Here's to another kick-ass year at the illest school there is.

Till next semester, my friends!

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.
