How I Feel About This Semester So Far

My bed is calling me, but I can't answer. Too much work to do.

How I Feel About This Semester So Far
spongebobimage.blogspot.com

I am so done with the semester right now. And I'm not just saying this because I'm fed up, but because I have mentally clocked out. I'm too tired to do anything else, honestly. Maybe I'm taking too many credits this semester or maybe I've gotten stuck with professors who only care about their own classes and, as a result, give loads of homework? I'm not too sure where the blame lies. I know it cannot lie with me, though. I keep working hard and trying to keep up with my assignments without procrastinating. I don't go out and have fun with my friends. Instead, I'm always busy with projects for classes. This hard work and dedication has not been paying off so far.

I'm mentally tired, ready to crack. Ready to just lay down and give up. Finally get the sleep I've been craving. But I know that it would be a disaster if I did that. Taking a break would mean not doing my homework, which would mean failing my classes, which would mean my GPA would drop and I wouldn't be able to graduate with honors, which is one of my goals. So I know I can't take a break, even though I feel like my energy is gone.

My thing is, why does it seem like all of my classes decided to give their final projects and tests all at the same time? They all said, "Let's get this done early so that you can enjoy your Thanksgiving Break." But what if I needed my Thanksgiving break to get the assignments done? Now, I can't do that because everything is due before then.

It feels like I'm ranting at this point and I do not want that to be the case. I just feel like I should get this off of my chest before I continue working on the projects, assignments, readings, and essays that seem to be suffocating me. I know that I can get through. I know that I can do this. If you are going through the same thing where your "To Do List" is so long, you do not know where to start? Just know that you can do it too. We just need to focus and carve out some time to get things done. Just know that we have a little break coming up and use that for motivation.

I wish you and myself the best of luck, let's go kick this semester's butt.

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.
