Give me a break.

Dear Professor Who Doesn't Give A Shit That I Am Still On Summer Break,

I would like to inform you that while you are at home sending me emails with chapters that I am supposed to read before class I am actually out enjoying my summer stress-free. I, unlike you would like to live my life before the stress of college takes over my body for yet another semester. The summer doesn't end until the first day of classes, but here you are sending me emails telling me I need to read chapters 1-86 before the first day of class. Yes, yes I get it, once you're in the real world you don't get a break. But, guess what I am not in the real world yet, so I would like to take all the time I can to live in the moment of my breaks while I have them. I am glad you are prepared for the first day of class to begin, but that is the point of sylly week where we review just the syllabus, but you clearly do not understand that. Instead of getting a full grasp of the syllabus, and thoroughly reading it like most college students do, you are making me jump right into the semester.

I just have one question: Do you enjoy stressing us college students out before the semester begins, or are you a decent human being?

You completely get a feel for the professor before the semester begins if they are sending you emails requesting work before classes start. And no, just because I do not want work before the semester begins does not mean I am in anyway a slacker. I work hard in each and every one of my classes, but there is a point where I am not trying to die of a stress overload, and that is called summer, and winter break. I know you don't care about this stuff, but I do.

So, let us start over. I am just going to delete the email that you had sent out which requested that I had to read chapters 1-689 before class starts, and you are going to forget you ever sent it out. Because you realize that us college students work hard during the semester, and shouldn't have to begin actual school work before your classes actual start date.

Yours Truly,

Student Who Is On Break Until The First Day of Classes

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
