Second Semester: As Told By Cristina Yang
ABC

Every college student knows the struggle of packing up and heading back to school after a long and much needed winter break. Right when you start to get used to having little to no responsibilities, you have to turn around and head back to school. With school we get flooded with emotions, but who would be better at helping us express these different emotions than no one other than Dr. Cristina Yang. As you "Grey's Anatomy" fans know, Dr. Cristina Yang is not afraid to voice her opinion. It's hard to describe the different feelings we have towards second semester, so here is second semester, as told by Cristina Yang.


You start to get sad when you realize that you're soon going to be drowning in work.


When you're the first of all your friends to go back to school.


Seeing your roommates/friends for the first time after break.


Walking into class on the first day and seeing you have an attractive classmate.


When your professor assigns a project during syllabus week.


When you made it to the first Friday of the semester.


When your professor says you have an exam in a week.


When class is almost over and someone asks a question with less than a minute left.


Pretending to take notes in class.


When you resort to drinking in class because you simply don't have time to pregame after.


“You forgot to assign the homework.”


When you look at your bank account half way through the semester.


When you're deciding if you want to play the field or go steady with the boy from last semester.


When you embarrass yourself in front of the cute classmate from your 8 am class.


When professors start to mention midterms and how we should start studying.


When you're feeling like the second semester slump is hitting you harder than all of your friends.


When a professor tries to assign work on Spring Break.


When the smartest kid in your class gets an A, so there's no curve on the last exam.


When a professor tries to be funny but you need extra credit.


When you're trying to pack your room up before summer.


When you notice you put all of your studying off for finals and you have to cram the night before.

When you have to say goodbye to your roommates.


When you get in your car and realize you have three months of summer break ahead of you.


Just remember: Second semester is not the sun. You are.

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.
