Dear Winter Break, It's Time To Say 'Goodbye'

How did our time pass so quickly?

Dear Winter Break,

After looking forward to time with you after my brief visit with Thanksgiving Break, you finally came to town. I was so eager for your visit that when you first arrived, I may have done a little happy dance. Let’s be honest, you are a much more welcome visitor than Finals Week who tends to be a very high-maintence and draining guest to have (don't tell her I said that).

The first day you arrived, I was exhausted from my previous guest (Finals Week), but with you finally in town, we slept in late and did absolutely nothing productive all day long. That was a great day. After recuperating from my exhaustion, it was all fun and adventure. Together, we had the time of our lives. Weekend trips, regular get-togethers with other friends, and holiday parties filled our schedule and we soaked up every minute of it. We went iceskating, shopping, and watched a lot of Netflix. We were even a little productive together-- but only a little. Thanks to you, the last month has been a rush of unforgettable memories.

My only regret is not appreciating my time with you as much as I should have in the moment. Now that our time together is up and school is starting back, I can only treasure the memories while I wish that your visit wasn’t so short. I reflect on our time together with an understandable bitter-sweetness.

As I prepare myself to say goodbye to you, I also brace myself for the busy rush of school to start back. Sadly, I know you must leave and I must start back my regular school schedule. That's life. However, I look forward to our future adventures together during your next visit.

Although our time together seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye, it was filled with moments and memories that I’ll never forget. I’m sad to see you leave so soon, but grateful for the time we did have together. Thanks for filling this last month with fun, laughter, and adventure.

So long until next year, my friend.

Sincerely,

The girl who isn't ready for you to leave

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.
