Preparations For The Second Semester

College doesn't have second chances, but you do have second semesters.

Preparations For The Second Semester

As the second semester of college is quickly approaching and the end of winter break is near, you're probably freaking out on what to do or how your liver is going to survive the next round of parties.

1. The Gym is your love-hate Best Friend

Turns out, Christmas calories do count and I only have two months to get the beach bod. That's my current nightmare.

2. Books, Books, and More Books

Actually order your books and not wait until the last minute. Use your books to a regular basis and not let them pick up dust. While you're at it, pick up a book to relax yourself when you're stressed out.

3. Set a GPA Goal

After making decent grades or not making grades, strive to do better with your GPA. Have a 3.0? Try to get a 3.5 or above. There's always room for improvement, except if you have a 4.0.


4. Get your crafts done

Let's be honest, once school starts you're going to forget about the unfinished crafts you still have left to finish or slightly panicking about the formal cooler you haven't started on. Get them done before you head back so you have time for more important priorities.


5. Clean out your liver

NYE is now over and its now time to get back to business. Partying on Friday's and Saturday's is a must but not in the middle of the week. But let's be real, it's not going to happen.

6. Sleep... a lot.

Spend the next few days sleeping until 1pm, you deserve it since you won't be getting sleep once you make it back to college with the random DD calls and homework at 3 a.m.


7. Eat Healthy, binge later

I live for the amount of healthy food I have access to when I'm not at school, on top of the home cooked meals. Take advantage of the food places around you because then you'll be stuck with college food soon. I'm not all about eating Chick-Fil-A every single day of my college life.


8. Focus on yourself more

Less boys, More sisters.


9. Leave procrastination at home

College is the absolute worst place to procrastinate. It's acceptable to procrastinate at home because you don't have any obligations for the most part.

10. Netflix

I encourage to start a new series and not binge watch it entirely so you have something to do in your free time in college.


11. Go out more

Taking a lazy day isn't bad but try going out more with friends and getting yourself out there. A new adventure awaits each day and sometimes you don't get that in college. Let whatever adventures happen and go with it.


12. Reality Check

Now you're off to finish the second half of this year. Finish off the year like TCUs' comeback in the second half of the Alamo bowl and prove all odds against those who don't 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.
