How to get the most out of your day:

1. Get a good night's rest.

We all complained during the semester how we weren't getting any sleep, so now that it's summer it's time to take advantage of that! Try going to sleep before midnight and allow yourself to rest.

2. Set an alarm.

Get a good night's rest, but don't allow yourself to sleep in until noon. The point is to take advantage of the day you are given, so don't waste it sleeping!

3. Write a to-do list.

As lame as it sounds, writing to-do lists once you wake up are a great way to get your day started. You can organize your thoughts and prioritize what needs to be done in the day.

4. Eat breakfast.

You got up early so you can treat yourself to a nice breakfast. If you're just not a breakfast person, maybe a cup of coffee, tea, or juice to start your day will suffice.

5. Attack your to-do list.

You've been well rested, figured out what you needed to do today, and ate breakfast, now it's time to complete your to-do list. Whether or not you had a million errands or none, you have the time to go do the things you need to do or sit and relax.

 

The major key to being productive and getting the most out of your day is really to get up early. I know a lot of us students don't jump at the opportunity to wake up early, but trust me, it feels amazing once you're up and have time to spare, rather than always being in a rush and pressed for time. It's summertime, and we should take advantage of every day given to us. Make this summer your best one yet!

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.
