Spring Semester As Told By Parks And Recreation
Variety

Spring semester is a rough time for college students. The weather is nicer. The snow is all gone. Summer is peaking around the corner. All of this can really hit your motivation and bring it to an all time low. You start to burn out from working so hard all year long, and you just want school to end.... too bad you still have 5 weeks left. All aboard the struggle bus, and please try not to get motion sickness. At least we have the cast of "Parks and Recreation" to relate to.

Counting how many days of school are left...


When you interview for that summer internship and they ask what you do outside of school


Imagining summer


Checking your grades


Trying to get in shape for summer that's only a few weeks away


Giving up on the dining center after eating there for 8 months


You can't wait for Friday and Saturday so you can let loose


Going to class after you missed a day


Whoops you cheated on your diet again..


Beginning to study for finals


Write a 10 page paper, do a group project, come into office hours, attend study group, and take this exam... oh and do it by tomorrow.


When you're asked why you didn't do your homework or attend that study group session..


Debating skipping class to sit on the grass in the quad


When your mom asks if you were studying last night..

..


Lecture starts to feel like this..



Trying to make your way through your essays like..



When your counselor asks what you are registering for in the fall



When the stress hits and even the best of us have a breakdown



But you know what? At the end of the day, it will all be okay. You will make it through and soon enough you'll be laying on the beach overdosing on Vitamin D. Push through these last few weeks of spring semester. Now bring it in and let's hug it out with the cast of "Parks and Recreation".

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.
