How It Feels To Be Halfway Done With College

Because we're definitely all still stuck in the sophomore slump

How It Feels To Be Halfway Done With College

So this is it. The end of the year. Not just any year, but our sophomore year. Sure, this might be the year where nothing exciting happens and we’re all definitely still stuck in the sophomore slump, but when it ends it’s also the year where we’re exactly halfway done with our time at college. Even just saying it makes me feel like I want to stop time while simultaneously ripping my hair out. There’s no way we can describe the feeling of time going by so fast and the world of adulting rapidly creeping up on us, so here’s our best try.

1. When you realize you’re going to be a real person soon



2. When the reality of your student debt piling up starts to become a reality


3. Thinking about trying to find a job after you graduate and realizing it may never happen


4. Realizing that you're definitely going to have to move back in with your parents


5. When you remember that going out 4 out of the 7 days a week isn't going to be acceptable anymore


6. Knowing that you've only got 2 years left of living in such close proximity to your best friends


7. When you remember you still haven't gotten an internship yet


8. When you realize even though you're halfway done you have no idea what you want to do for the rest of your life

9. Knowing that you still don't know how to do basic domestic things like scrambling eggs


(This one might just be me)


10. When it feels like the past 2 years of your college career were being fast forwarded and you don't know how you got here


11. Knowing that you have to make the most of the next 2 years before it's all over

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.
