Preparing for a New Semester as told by "Parks and Recreation"

Even though our preparation skills may not be as thorough as Leslie Knope's, our friends at the Parks Department still understand how we feel.

Starting a whole new semester is always a process in itself. You have to go out and restock on everything, move back into school, and somehow start waking up and getting out of bed at a decent hour for class. It can be pretty tough.

You have to be an adult and go to the store to restock on everything you ran out of and had to borrow from your roommate for the last couple weeks.


You find yourself thinking: I should probably buy a second soap in case I run out again... IS THAT A SALE ON MAC AND CHEESE.

You have to say goodbye to all of your friends from home.

It never gets easier. Never.

Packing is always the process that will forever be difficult.

Did I bring this home because I never used it, or because I would need it while I was home?

That drive back to school that, you know, is always so fun and not boring at all.

Your mom will probably ask what classes you're taking this semester for the sixth time.

That goodbye to your parents once they drop you off where both parties are secretly happy to be rid of each other for a little bit.


See ya when I'm home for break! :) ....I mean :(

The realization that you're going to have to completely change your sleep schedule.

Those first couple morning classes are definitely rough.

That moment when you're reunited with your roommates and you realize how much you missed having them around every day.


Finally, someone I can ask if they know the last time I showered without being judged.

And, finally, the anticipation of all the fun a new semester can bring can get you pretty pumped.

Here's to a brand new semester everybody. Cheers!

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.
