I Managed to Survive All the Writing

I wrote a piece earlier ranting about what I had to look forward to. Here's the result.

I Managed to Survive All the Writing

If you read my previous article about how I will be a husk of a human by then end of my week of hell, congrats. This article, if it can be called that, is just my confirming that I am indeed still alive. I am more than a simple husk too. I finished all my papers and took my exams this week. All met with hopefully moderate success.

As I type this up I am on my way home sitting shotgun in the car. I am tire, and have nearly succumbed to sweet sleep multiple times. This morning I woke up with a cold on top of this paper writing induced exhaustion. But I'm still kicking and that's all that matters.

The point of this article is...well there really is no point. I'm fried. I can't come up with anything. All I'm looking forward to is walking through the door and being greeted by the cat's and dogs. Tonight is also Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency season finale. Tomorrow it goes live on Netflix. But I've been watching every week and need to see how this ends. I look forward to season 2 later next year. Back to my no ideas though. I am literally so done. This semester's end was just hell. If anyone ever tries to say a SSHA major has nothing to complain about I'd like them to write a thesis. Or write a paper on the Gothic aspects of a 20th or 21st century text. Fight me!

Anyways, I just have one more semester to go before I'm done as an undergrad. I'm applying to graduate school now and hoping to get in. My prospects look good though so I'm not all that worried. So yeah, I thought I'd just check in and tell anyone who's read my stuff that I am still alive. I don't know if there will be anything of interest in the coming weeks to write about as I'm officially on break. But who knows? I'll come up with something. I usually do.

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.
