It's Been Two Months at School and I'm Ready to Drop Out

It's Been Two Months at School and I'm Ready to Drop Out

We go through most of the summer without being in school, seeing our friends, and being in a regular academic routine. Then we come back and we're all so excited to be reunited with everyone. But then, you have to like, do this whole go-to-class-and-get-an-education thing and you're just like, "Nah."

The first week you move in again, catch up with your friends, and start up a new schedule for the semester. I was excited to be back at school until the second week. Normally syllabus week is all fun and games, unless your professor actually wants to teach a lesson the first day back.

The funny thing is that it's not even winter and I could potentially stay curled up in my bed all day to watch Netflix and chill. The idea of actually leaving my room to chuck across campus to go to class doesn't seem ideal.

I've noticed that my outfits went from looking professional, classy but cute, to sweatpants, to straight-up homeless.


When teachers keep giving me homework, papers to write, projects to complete, and deadlines to meet, it actually makes me want to throw my books across the room, slap someone in the face, and curl up in a ball and cry.

Not to mention athletes who constantly have practice and games, and still somehow tie in having a social life and an education. They're superheroes filled with magical powers of multitasking.

When do I have time for anything? I'm constantly busy and rarely have time to be with my friends, but when we finally do come together, normally around dinner, it's like time was never lost.

Sometimes I truly wish that I could go to college without doing the whole "college" thing. Sometimes I just want to hang out with my friends, go on adventures, and not have a care in the world. But, we must care in order to pursue our dreams, accomplish our goals, and make our lives successful.

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.
