A Letter To Those Struggling With Senioritis
Frontline

We all know that time of year, it's that time of year when all your tests (for all your classes) are on the same day. When you first start out in college it seems easy-- you have everything down to a T and if push comes to shove, you have four more years to make it up. Let me tell you that Senioritis is a real thing, and mental breakdowns your senior year is also a real thing. Here are the 10 things, really NORMAL things to do when you are stressed out and have senioritis:

1. Cry about it.


Seriously, let it out. Those are your emotions and right now is a reasonable time to let that stress come out.

2. Run it out.


"They" (whoever they are) say that working out is a great way to release endorphins and endorphins make people high on happiness.

3. Sit down and study


Now that you are tired from working out and crying, try to study a bit and get on track.

4. Just kidding, eat empty calories

Just like exercise, food is also a comfort. But if you are trying to be healthy, go towards the better options.

5. Cry some more

Let it out, its okay!

6. Find that nice adult beverage (if you're of age) and take a sip... or two.

NO MORE THAN TWO SIPS!!!

7. Watch Netflix

Take a break from all this nonsense and watch mind numbing shows.

8. Study some more


Seriously, get cracking on those books.

9. Get coffee.


AGAIN, just like working out, caffeine also releases endorphins.

10. Relax... everything will be okay!


YOU TOTALLY HAVE THIS!! Just stay motivated to finish in the long run.

The best thing to do when you are fearful of the future is to sit down and relax. Yes, you had the entire first part of the semester to study but you're not perfect! It is OK to be scared but it is not OK to give up. Keep on going and you will graduate and everything will be great. Right now you are doing something that most people have not done! You are so close to getting that expensive piece of paper that holds your future! Do not give up and realize it is okay to break down; please, just do not give up!!

Sincerely,

A girl who is also suffering from senioritis.

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.
