How It Feels to Already Be Halfway Through the Semester
The Prospect

Yes, you read that right. We have somehow made it halfway through the semester already. Now we have the homestretch, and it's so close I can taste it. While it's pretty exciting to think that we get a break in a little bit, it's also slightly terrifying. The mix of emotions doesn't help the midterm stress, but at least our feelings can be expressed through gifs.

1. It kind of feels like you're flying, while still being dragged down by the coursework that's getting progressively harder.

Just remember that you are a beautiful bird. Sort of.

2. It feels like anxiety is now normal.

Getting into the flow of how hectic school is has become second nature. Pulling all-nighters, consistently worrying about your next test, and cramming in last-minute paper writing is 100% normal now. It's fine!

3. It feels like your life is going by in fast motion, but also so painfully slow.

It's so weird how when you're in class it feels like minutes are hours but then you wake up one Friday morning and realize you've already gone through another week.

4. It feels like you're never going to make it.

It's...only...been...nine...weeks???????????????????

5. It feels like you might actually cross that finish line.

Pretty successfully, too. You've made a lot of progress in a couple months.

6. It feels like you're homesick.

The holiday season is coming up and that means that home is beckoning to you along with always done laundry, not-processed meals, and some alone time to unwind with some of your favorite people in the world.

7. It feels like you're having withdrawals from the first half of the year already.

Can you miss something when you haven't left? The answer is yes. It's always a good time when you're with #squad.

8. It feels like you know that the next nine weeks are going to be even better than the first.


There is still quite a bit of time to go. That's a lot of time to make even more memories.

Being halfway through the semester is thrilling and terrifying at the same time. It's okay- we can panic and simultaneously party together.

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.
