April Thoughts: The Semester Is Almost Over
Giphy

The month of April is kind of like hell on Earth. Finals are coming, the weather is disgusting and everyone is on edge. Summer is so close we can almost feel it, but we have to make it through the end of the semester to get there. Through these next few weeks, we’re all going to be thinking pretty similar thoughts, mainly: is it over yet?

1. I feel like I have no time.

Sure, there are about 30 days left in the semester, but there’s still so much work to do.

2. You mean I have to pack everything up?

I’ve been living in the same ten by ten foot box for the past nine months, and I have acquired so much junk in that time. I don’t honestly think I’m going to be able to fit all this crap in my car to go home.

3. Is it bad to eat ramen twice in one day?

I don’t have time to walk all the way to the dining hall and spend time eating. I mean I know there’s a lot of sodium, but how bad could it be?

4. I have no money.

I literally spent all of my money on pizza and coffee this semester.


5. Why am I here again?

I mean how important could my future be, right?


6. What is sleep?

I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep since the beginning of February, and I think the bags under my eyes are permanent now.


7. Do you think professors will take bribes?

There’s no way I’m passing otherwise.


8. Wait. Did we just start something new on the last day of class?

C’mon, really? Why couldn’t you teach me this last week?


9. Did I even go to class this semester?

I’m looking at the syllabus and I don’t remember learning any of this stuff.


10. I can’t believe it’s already over.

These few months have gone by so quickly, and I can't believe I've almost finished my freshman year. I'm so thankful to have such good friends that got me through this semester alive.

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.
