An Open Letter To Winter Break

All good things come to an end.

An Open Letter To Winter Break
Giphy

Dear winter break,

You’ve been good to me, friend. But soon we have to say our goodbyes.

It was nice to have a month off from school to relax and enjoy time with my family and friends that I don’t get to see that often. Staying up late, sleeping in and binge watching my favorite Netflix series -- maybe even completing a whole series (oops). Working a little for some extra spending money but not too much to be exhausted.

Thank you for allowing me to create new memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for incorporating Christmas and New Year’s into this period of relaxation. Thank you for being nonjudgmental when I started my New Year’s resolutions and quit after a week. Most of all, thanks for being my “get away” for the past month. Sometimes we all just need a break AKA, you.

Although the end of breaks are never fun, I’m ready to go back to school. I can’t wait to see my roommate and my best friends that live across the hall. I’m ready for the nights to go out with my girlfriends and get wild. I’m ready for the extra independence I’ll have as soon as I step off the plane. Although I’m not excited for my early morning classes or staying up until 2am studying; it’s all part of the game and I couldn’t be more thankful that I have this opportunity in the first place.

That being said, it’s time for me to go. To say goodbye to my friends and family at the airport where the plane to take me 600 miles away waits for me to board. Goodbyes are hard. But then again, it’s just a “see you later” type of deal. I’ll see my friends and family over summer, and you in December, It’s been real, thanks for the memories, Winter Break, I’ll never forget it. See you soon.

Love,

One Of Your Many Fans

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.
