The Senioritis of College

Signs You Hit The Sophomore Slump

The sophomore slump: The time where a college student is taken down reality and see what college really entails.

1. You No Longer Care About Meeting New People

Your freshmen year was spent meeting new people all the time and becoming friends with whatever said people you formed a good connection with. But this year, you are worn out from meeting all the people that you do and you could not care less about making new friends.

2. You Are Really Poor

As if you were not already by freshmen year.

3. You Still Don't Know What You Want to Major In

Honestly, this is stressed about way too often. Almost half of college graduates do not even go into careers related to their majors right out of college.

4. You Question Why You Are Still In College

A really obvious sign that you are slumping. Many people are not fully sure why they are in college but they can usually name a few reasons why. But what really shows you are in the slump is if you do not understand what your purpose of being in college is.

5. You Are Struggling More With Classes

Classes are bound to get more difficult beyond freshmen year. But this jump hit you way too hard.

6. You Cannot Take Any More Cafeteria Food

Cafeteria food is your enemy. You avoid it as much as you possibly can.

7. You Aren't Having As Much Fun As Freshmen Year

This is bound to happen as you most likely do not have that much time on your hands. But the late weekend nights don't give you as much joy and neither do the activities that get you through the week.

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.
