Class Is Back In Session

In This Article:

Here's to another summer that went by WAY too quickly. Like me, some of you may have spent it overseas or you may have spent it in your hometown with old friends and loved ones. If you are anything like me, good memories are followed by a very HEAVY case of nostalgia... the kind that leaves you looking through pictures over and over and over again or thinking about something that happened and grinning from ear to ear.

That being said, it's mid-August and classes are right around the corner. Yeah, not exactly the cherry on top to summer but it's coming quick. So as the summer ends, here are 3 ways to get through the nostalgia and get semester ready!

All the pictures are just a click away.

I am a HUGE fan of pictures. To me, there is no such thing as "too many pictures", in other words, you can never have enough! When you do start thinking of the incredible summer you had as you walk to class, the pictures are literally in the palm of your hand. It's okay to reminisce and remember. Actually, it might even help to look back at those memories to amp you up for next summer and the adventures that await you!

Classes aren't the worst thing in the world.

Hang on, let me explain. Yeah, school means projects, exam, and assignments which are not the most thrilling things in the world BUT why are any of us in school in the first place? I would hope that we've all decided to go to college to pursue a bigger dream or aspiration. I know, this is starting to sound a little cliche, but it's true. We come to school and put in work so that, one day, we can do what we love. The fun we put on hold to go to school doesn't come back to us empty. There will be a day when your independent-working-adult self will thank you for what you are doing now!

Summer 2019 is on its way!

With one summer gone, another summer awaits. 9 months SEEMS like a long time to wait for summer, but it will be here before you know it! Until then, we have got Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Easter, Birthdays, Anniversaries and so many other holidays and occasions and success and moments to celebrate. Keep your head up and don't forget to keep the party going until next summer!

Here's to good memories from summer 2018 and to even more incredible moments to come!

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.
