Why Your Second Semester Of College Is Worse Than Senioritis

I thought senioritis was the worst feeling I could experience until I got to my second semester of college.

I didn’t think anything could be worse than senioritis…I WAS WRONG! Second semester of college your freshman year is just as bad, if not worse. Here is why…

1. Spring Parties

Yes, there are parties in high school and your senior year there are tons of graduation parties, but nothing comes close to spring party season. Instead of doing your homework, laundry, cleaning, or anything actually useful, you spend your time going to darties (day parties) and avoid the adult things you should be doing.

2. No Parents

In high school you are blessed by your parents reminding you to do your homework, clean your room, and study when you get lazy due to senioritis. In college you have total freedom. So when you want to watch Netflix, sleep, eat way too much junk food, or spend money on things you really don’t need, there is no one there to stop you.

3. Baseball Season

GOD BLESS BASEBALL SEASON!!!! In college, baseball games like to range anywhere between 11 in the morning to 7 at night. If there is a day game, and it’s nice outside, it’s not uncommon for students to skip class to go to baseball games because nothing beats a day game! I’m not saying that I support it, but I may have done it once or twice. (Mom and Dad, if you’re reading this, I’m sorry.)

4. Realization

Sophomore year is approaching and the “thrill” of college in gone. You realize that you aren’t in college to party, and that you are actually in school to get a degree and learn. In high school when summer is approaching everyone is so excited because it means graduation, summer vacation, and college is right around the corner. Sorry to break your bubble but it’s just more school and more responsibility.

Don't get me wrong though, college is great and you only get one freshman year. It's enjoyable and it flies by so enjoy it while it last!

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.
