An Open Letter To You At The Beginning Of Spring Semester

You have a lot going on this semester and that's what college is all about, right? Taking on more than you can handle, no sleep, and a lot of stress? Just keep in mind to take some time out of your busy life for some "you time." Even if that means sitting on a bench staring at the clouds for 10 minutes a day, it's all about you. If you've been slacking at the gym lately because of all the homework you have to do, try bringing a book or some notes to the gym. Whatever you need to do to get everything in in one day.

You might be taking 4, 5, 6, maybe even 7 classes this spring. People might look at you like you're crazy for taking on so much. And you might be just a little crazy, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Look at yourself every day and tell yourself "I can do this!" Because you can do it.

You have a planner and a desk calendar... USE THEM! Remember when you thought you could just remember everything and it would be fine? But then you started forgetting some homework assignments and then some meetings and by the end of the semester you were more stressed then you needed to be? You can fix that by being just a little more organized with your schedule.

You have a whole dining hall with plenty of food options. You can eat healthier. It won't hurt to have a salad for dinner 4 times a week instead of that pasta dish. Wouldn't it be awesome to go home for break and look like a new person?There are so many things you can do this semester to make it a great one. Take advantage of the resources around you to make sure that happens. You got this! I believe in you.

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.
