Finish strong.

First Day Of School Vs. The Last Day Of School

First day of school is always the most exciting day of school no matter what grade your in. Everything is perfect-

  1. You always wake up on time.
  2. Your outfit is adorable from head to toe.
  3. You have a full supply of pens and pencils!
  4. Your notebook smells fresh.
  5. You’re so organized.
  6. Most importantly you are excited to be there!

Now what changes towards the end of the semester?

  1. You are rushing late to class.
  2. You look like you just woke up.
  3. You can’t find the last pens you owned so you have to steal one of those little pencils from the library.
  4. If you still have your notebook it is probably ripped apart in 10 pieces.
  5. You don’t even know what being organized means anymore.
  6. Finally you can’t wait to be done.

What causes this huge transition in students from all ages even through college?

It is a combination of laziness and memory loss. Let me explain-

The reason why people get lazy is because they forget WHY they are doing whatever they started. You start of strong, but you finish weak. To fix this, and trust me to reach your goals this should be fixed ASAP, all you have to do is write down your reason and read it everyday and I mean everyday. It is the only way to finish what you started 10 times stronger, because no one else is going to remind you why you should have a 4.0 GPA or why you should be on time to class everyday. I mean maybe your mom but who listens to what their mom has to say?

Remind yourself why are you doing what your doing. Once you focus on your WHY the path is clear and no one is stopping you. Not even the annoying professor with an accent who just finds any excuse to fail you.

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.
