The Year's Over... Now What?

You just took your last final. What to do now (besides cry tears of joy)?

The Year's Over... Now What?

Here are a few ways to spend your last few hours at Villanova after a fantastic sophomore year.

Recycle your old handouts 

Don't toss your old papers and recyclable notebooks in the trash next to your moldy shower caddy and old frat shoes! Head around the corner of your dorm hallway and toss them in the mixed paper recycling bin instead. The planet will thank you.

Take a FAT nap

Ah, nothing like the sweet smell of the end of your sleep deprivation after your last 8:30 am final. You deserve a little nap, or a big one, or just to go to bed at 7 pm for the night. Again, you deserve it!

Cry on your friends' shoulders because you don't want to leave them 

A mixture of post-finals exhaustion and extreme sadness will probably force those waterworks hidden within your tear ducts to emerge while you're saying your last goodbyes to your roommate, best friend, and maybe even a favorite professor from the semester. Let it aaaaaalllllll out.

Clean out your room 

Your SUV will thank you when you don't literally stuff it to the brim while moving out. Lots of junk piles up throughout the two semesters, so there's definitely things you'll find in the depths of your desk drawers and under your bed that can be tossed, recycled, or donated. And yes, eating the rest of the snacks in your room after taking two finals in a row does count as cleaning out your room.

Return your books 

This is a reminder to head down to the bookstore. The last thing you want to do is forget and have to pay extra for them. And I know that the last thing you want to do is pay an extra hundred dollars for a missing biology textbook. You have one day left!

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.
