Sincerely, Jayhawks.

A Love Letter To Lawrence

Dear Lawrence,

As much as we love breaks from school, we Jayhawks just can't help but miss you. Just to name a few reasons why...


We miss our friends.

It's weird not seeing all of our college friends every day. Seriously, having withdrawals.

Massachusetts Street.

Our current proximity from all of our favorite shops and restaurants is so not ideal.

The Hawk.

Can't forget about our favorite cafe.

The Bull and The Wheel.

They deserve mention too.

We're craving Pizza Shuttle.

Nothing compares. Well, except maybe Wheel pizza.

Our daily routine.

Winter break rocks, but it's hard to adjust from our everyday lives away from Lawrence.

A beautiful campus.

We might even miss the calf-burning hills a little bit.

Sports.

S'ko Hawks! (Although I'm still cheering from my couch at home)

Tanning on Wescoe Beach.

Gonna have to hit the booths to make up for lost time.

Being screamed at by protesters on Wescoe.

We all act like we hate it but admit it, you miss it a little now.

Being surrounded by fellow Jayhawks.

There's something about being around all these people that love your school as much as you do.

Freedom.

In LFK, you're as free as can be.

The rec.

Where else can you go and watch wanna-be ballers fight over courts?

Waiting in lines.

Wednesday nights...enough said.

The buses.

Haha, JUST KIDDING.

Watson & Schutz.

After all the time you spent together during finals week...

The steam whistle.

It's weird not hearing it throughout the day...or walking past it and jumping five feet into the air when it goes off.

Dining hall food.

Gotcha again, nope.

You really miss having cute notes left on your car from the campus police.

By cute notes, I hope you know I mean parking tickets.

Being sleep deprived in the best way possible.

Ok, not really.

Being broke.

Help me, I'm poor.

Hot Box Cookies.

You wouldn't pay $1.25 for just any cookie.

Mid-day Chick-fil-A stops at the Underground.

Not kidding about this one.

Sylas & Maddy's.

Lawrence does it best.


We miss you, LFK.

Love,

Jayhawks

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.
