Dear College Students
Stephanie Anderson

In spirit of surviving Lawrence Tech's first week of the spring semester for the third time, I just want to give all college students a brief shout-out (no matter which group you fit into.)

Dear Fellow Over-Achievers,

Thank you for being involved in too many things, trying way too f*cking hard, and probably being as crazy as I am. Thanks for taking extra detailed notes, helping your friends with homework, and motivating others. Thank you for going the extra mile and picking up the slack in your group projects. Thank you for being the encouragement someone needs when they think they aren't good enough.

Dear Average Students,

Thanks for giving the over-achievers a chill pill when they need to take a step back. You probably get enough sleep too. Thanks for still helping other students out and pulling your weight in the process. Thanks for making fun of the other two types of students. After all, C's get degrees (and probably the same job as the over-achievers with half the work involved, way to show us up.)

Dear Under-Acheivers,

Thanks for giving the average students and over-achievers a purpose and a good laugh when the professor is being ridiculous. Thanks for the good days and the better nights. Thanks for scraping by and still passing a class, showing us the dream of a degree hasn't died in our generation. Finally, thank you for being great people and making college enjoyable.

Have a bomb ass semester guys!

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.
