We know the struggle all too well.

Spring break was fun for some of us, others a little less fun and filled with rest.

But no matter where you go, every college student feels the existential dread of going back to their schedules packed with classes, work, homework, and extracurricular activities like Greek organizations or campus organizations.

These thoughts, although they are mine, I'm sure has crossed other students' minds and wholeheartedly agree with.

1. "Wow, spring break is over already?"

Most universities have one week of official spring break designated in their academic calendars for undergrad and grad students.

One week is not long enough of a vacation for some. Now, a multi-week break is more like it.

Please, can our school extend our spring breaks?

2. "Back to hell I go"

The dread from the stress and pressure we will encounter makes it seem like we are in our own personal hells.

We will go back to the place where the things that fuel us are stress, sleep deprivation, energy drinks/coffee, and the fear of failing.

Sounds like hell, doesn't it?

3. "I've got a lot of work to do"

Multi-page papers, huge presentations, huge projects, finals, quizzes, and readings from the textbooks.

Sounds like a lot of work right there. The stress of being afraid to fail will make all of this a lot worse.

4. "Maybe I should drop out"

The stress, fear, and fatigue from going to classes, going to work and stressing to the point of insanity sometimes makes somebody think they should just quit school and get a normal job.

We are in college to get great jobs and better ourselves, but sometimes what someone needs is a break.

Sometimes that is dropping out permanently. Sometimes it is deferring a semester.

I personally deferred a semester and it made me feel ready for the next semester. Although deferring a semester has its disadvantages, sometimes people just need a break. And that is okay.

5. "How long will it be until summer break and the end of this semester?"

The feels, ughhhh.....

We all want the semester to be over. I'm sure even ours professors want this semester to be over.

College is exhausting and it is not for the weak. Sometimes, you have to fight with yourself to go to class.

The last weeks of the semester after spring break are perhaps the hardest and most work-intense weeks of the semester. Lord, help us.

Good luck everyone and may the grade book be ever in your favor!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
