Does Spring Break 'Really' Exist For Seniors?

The only difference between regular semester and spring break for me is the location I have been doing my school work.

Does Spring Break 'Really' Exist For Seniors?
Molly Cole

We are on day five or six of spring break (depending on when your last day of physical class was), and I have done some sort of school work every day so far. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the work.. I came home for the break so I might would get bored if I didn't have things I needed to do. But it would be nice not to get stressed out over wanting to sleep in or having a wine night.

I have (within the next four weeks) two research papers, an interview project, two analytical essays, two exams to prepare for and I am NOT for it! I am trying to work on papers and research topics all while catching up on reading or rereading everything and I could not be more stressed out. Oh wait.. my student account was charged an outrageous amount because I missed a deadline for something a month ago and if it doesn't get paid I am skuh-rewed! If stress could boil, I would be vapor.

So while all of you are spending time with your boyfriends/girlfriends, doing a bit of light reading on the beach sipping your 'dranks', or thinking to yourself you deserve a break regardless of how much you shouldn't be putting off, I will just be over here sweating water from my eyeballs.

Any who, while this may seem a bit of pitiful cry for help or rant over my jealousy for your freedom and fun, I do hope you are making the most of your time. If you are in similar shoes as me, welp- we may or may not make it out of this semester alive but we will surely miss out on making memories doing it (totally not passive aggressive there..at all).

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.
