Looking Forward To Spring Semester

Looking Forward To Spring Semester

The new semester is almost upon us after a month off, when activities ranged from catching up with old high school friends, to traveling to see family. While the spring semester is not as fun as fall in Statesboro, here are a few things to look forward to for the next six months.

Formal. Free cooler, a weekend at the beach, and copious amounts of alcohol. What else could you wish to have during spring semester? Girls love it for the dressing up for the dinner, and the weekend away. And guys, well we like it for the cooler and what's inside. All jokes aside, formal is one of the best functions a fraternity should have and is a must to go to.

Baseball. America's pasttime is back in action during the spring semester and that means Georgia Southern's baseball team begins play. We are fortunate enough to go to a school that is good at this sport -- especially after coming off a win against a Jameis Winston-led Florida State team in the NCAA Regionals last year.

Spring break. Cancun, PCB, or a cruise -- wherever you plan on going for the week, make sure it is just not at a week at home or stuck in Statesboro. Spring break, also known as the greatest time you'll never remember, is a great time to be with your friends, work on your tan, and completely forget about any of the work you might have for the next week.

Pool season. As the semester progresses, Statesboro turns up the heat with temperatures consistently hitting the upper 80s and 90s. So, to beat the heat or a long day of class, head to one of the many pools. Many housing complexes throw pool parties throughout the semester, which is a good way to catch some sun.  

Spring concert. Every year, Georgia Southern throws a spring concert near the end of the semester. Last year, Lady Antebellum came to Statesboro; in 2012, The Fray and The Band Perry visited. I've never been to one, but this year the short list of artists being considered includes Rich Homie Quan and Migos. If you have a free Saturday, definitely consider going to this event at least once in your college career.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
