Break from College or from Work?

Spring Break is about to officially start, but it's not going to actually feel like one.

For some of us, Spring Break is actually going to be what Spring Break is supposed to be: relaxing, catching up with friends and/or family, sleeping and etc. While the rest of us, if you are like me, will be coming home for Spring Break, but with homework. Yes it's a sad day because my professors are like you don't have work, but according to the syllabus we have to talk about an assignment the first day we get back which means I have to do "work" over break to prepare for Monday. At least my break is like a week so I can do work and try do to other things as well which would most likely be sleeping.

Spring Break couldn't come any sooner because I'm ready to be done with midterms. Even though I officially only had one, all the quizzes and tests that I have in between doesn't make it any better. But once Spring Break goes, I'll be counting down until May 10th so I can be on summer vacation. Even though it will be a summer of job hunting and working on articles, it will be worth it in the long run. Also the idea of deciding what classes I have to take next semester is going to be a pain planning that out for.

Deciding on classes isn't hard, the hard part is going for the section that have the best time for you, actually getting into that section, making sure not to have too early classes but also at the same not have any late classes. With my major when I have workshops, they are 6-8:30pm so that's going to be fun going to those once a week. At least it's for what I actually like to do, writing stories, but coming up with ideas is another ballgame I have to do. Creativity is one thing, but sometimes my short story ideas turn into long ideas which makes it become more of a novel than a short story. I have plenty of unfinished stories that I'm going to be working on for the summer. That sounds more like a job, but it's all for amusement and for the people who actually read my stories online for their enjoyment.

Lastly, with the month of March and spring break being next week, it's almost my roommate's birthday. I been sending her pics of her favorite kpop idol, thanks to me for finding him for her, starting March 1st and I might officially stop on her birthday March 15, but it won't be fun messing with her anymore so I may continue. I feel so young being a summer baby of '98 with everyone turning 19 before me. I wont be 21 until my last year of college and I barely look like my age now, who knows if I even change in 4 years because I haven't changed much since 8th grade besides glasses and hair wise.

Finally, to everyone that's going to be on spring break, I hope you make the most of it and to everyone who is already on spring break, I hope you are having fun as well!

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.
