To My Fellow Veterinary Students — I See You And Understand How Hard It Is
Elizabeth Fidler

Veterinary field is hard, it is exhausting, it is heartbreaking.

But I see you, doing your hardest to get through school.

I see you exhausted after a long work day, working extra hours because there is a sick animal and you're too scared to leave in case they pass while you're gone.

I see you crying, having mental breakdowns because you don't think you are smart enough, feeling helpless because you couldn't save the animal you tried so hard to save.

I see somebody trying to comfort something that doesn't understand what is going on and they're scared.

I see you, covered in bodily fluids from an animal that couldn't hold it.

I see you, sweat, tears and blood.

I see you overworked and overwhelmed.

But, I see a superhero.

I see a strong heart.

I see compassion and a heart of gold for even the aggressive animals.

I see the want for every animal you can have because you love them all.

I see an extremely smart individual because learning the anatomy of every single animal seems impossible, but you're still doing it.

I see somebody who refuses to give up.

You are not alone. People don't understand how hard it is. But look at you, you're doing it, you refuse to give up, or you've already achieved your accomplishment.

I'm proud of you and your dedication for animals. Don't ever give up.

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.
