Recovering: Finals Edition

Cause we all know that one week probably took a year off our lives.

Recovering: Finals Edition
expertrain

At this point in time during the semester, just like everyone else, I am stressed with preparing for finals. And on top of that the "Mizzou Mumps" have taken over campus. Here are some tips for my girls out there that are recovering from those dreaded hours or days without a sufficient amount of sleep, good food, excessive amounts of coffee, etc.

Go get your nails done. I always feel better about myself when I've been through a manicure. (Cause even if you don't feel like you have your life together, at least your nails are done.)

Go buy some new clothes. Whether it's a new dress from Altar'd State, some new Lulu, or even a cute find at TJ Maxx, you deserve it after all that stress. (Treat yo self, and worry about breaking the bank later.)

Bubble bath. Nothing is better than defeating a freezing day, than by relaxing in a bath with your favorite bath bomb, and forgetting about the class that kicked your ass. At least for a little while.

Last but not least, take a FAT NAP. Cause after not sleeping for months, your mind, body, etc. will really appreciate it. Cuddle up with your favorite blanket and take one of those naps that when you wake up, for the first few seconds, you aren't sure where you are or what day it is. That's when you know you've done it right. Trust me, you're gonna need it.

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.
