"We'll all float on alright
Don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy
We'll all float on alright"

- Modest Mouse

The feeling of hitting the books again after Spring Break has been hectic. Getting back into the swing of daily routines, 9 a.m. classes, last night meetings and my mountainous pile of laundry I still need to wash have me feeling like I can't keep up with my work flow.

With the next week approaching and another article to write, writer's block has me. Even this week was jam packed with class, work, studying and procrastination. I present to you my article on sea turtles. Now you might be thinking, what? Why? Because no matter how the rough the seas on life are, they keep floating on. Channel your inner sea turtle, ride the waves of life and hang tight. Here are six sea turtles to help get you through your week!

Wakey wakey! Monday morning and coffee is brewing. Pack your backpack, charge your phone and embark on the day ahead if you. Be positive and prepared for your day! It might not be your favorite day of the week, but make the most of it!

Put your fins up! You day is going swimmingly! Lunch time is approaching, make it to the caf and power on through your 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock and your night classes! Soon enough you day will end and Tuesday will be here!

We all get by with the help of our friends, so don't get stressed! Your buds are always there for you! From your day ones, BFFLs, your bae and any pal, they got you, boo.

Stay focused, stay motivated! Finish that 10 page research paper you had two months to write but crammed into an all nighter. Study your Spanish vocab before you get wrecked by another quiz. Order that coffee and reward yourself for all you have accomplished so far this week!

It's halfway through the week, just keep your eyes on the prize! 40 hour work weeks are almost to the end and weekend is fast approaching! Swim pass the haters and get ready to turn up!

The weekend is finally yours! Go crazy, turn up with your homies. Order Domino's and binge watch Netflix if you want to! Roadtrip, nap all day and spend your weekend however you want. Be ready for Monday, because the weekend will swim past you before you know it!


Brace yourself for the week ahead in your life. Keep your chin up. Don't stress and keep calm like a sea turtle. Float on!

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.
