How To Get A Fresh Start For Spring Semester
Presbyterian College

With Christmas being over and winter break coming to an end, the inevitable move back to campus is approaching. Whether you're excited to go back or sad to leave your family at home, spring semester is a time to work hard and end off the school year with a bang. Here are a few ways you can get a fresh start when returning back to campus for the second semester

1. Be open to new experiences.

Getting a fresh start also means learning to try new things. Maybe this is taking a different type of class or joining a club. Regardless, try to create new experiences during the spring semester.

2. Never forget who your true friends are.

During first semester you probably met a bunch of new people in classes or in your dorm building or just around campus. Meeting new people is great but remember the people who have been there for you when you have had problems or been stuck in life. Thank them and be there for them when they are struggling.

3. Get rid of toxic relationships.

This one is so important to keep in mind. Not everyone you meet will always have your back in college. Sometimes others may use you to help out themselves or will not put in the time and effort to hang out with you. You are an important person who should not be wasting their time with people who will not put in the effort to be your friend.

4. Start a new study habit.

Ok so maybe you did not end up with the grades you wanted at the end of first semester. This is a time to figure out new ways to study to show your professors how smart and hard working you truly are. Ask your friends how they study, create study groups, or talk to your professors about how you can succeed in their class.

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.
