Spring Break In College: Here's To Studying Instead Of Sleeping

So, last week was Spring Break.

I was so excited for Spring Break. A week to sleep in, go to bed whenever, and do whatever for an entire week. Now I am not your average college student. I was not planning to take a trip to a beach somewhere and get plastered. That is the farthest thing from what I wanted to do because it dumbfounds me on why a person would want to get so drunk and party every day that they hardly have time to rest. I work so hard in school that I need time to rest and rejuvenate.

I wanted to sleep in until to whatever time I felt like. I wanted to catch up on the television shows that I have not had a chance to watch in a few months. I wanted to not think about classes, projects, or presentations for the entire week. I wanted to spend my days the way I wanted to and have a restful fun week.

Apparently, that is not how Spring Break will be for me anymore. I spent each day of the week catching up on work. I spent days studying for upcoming tests and working on projects and presentations. I think the latest I slept all week was 9 a.m. which is only about an hour or two extra than what I would normally sleep to. I stressed about homework and classwork for the next week.

The only thing that was different about this week than other weeks was that I did not have classes. That was the only difference. This week was not the restful fun week I was so desperately hoping for. I still do not feel completely rested to start classes back on Monday. I actually dreaded the weekend for the first time in my life. I kept hoping and praying that my week would drag by, but instead if flew by faster than I could have imagined.

So, I am extremely ready for Summer, to say the least.

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.
