Spring Semester Update
Teagen Trella
It is currently week three of the spring semester of 2019 and here's an update. My skin is clear and I'm happy, what's better than that? I'm also procrastinating less, finishing assignments early, and never running late to class. Hopefully, by the end of the semester, I'll be saying the exact same words. The key to staying on top of your game is organization and prioritization. Here are some things you should consider before going to bed: plan out the entire day, choose your outfit, and meal prep. This gives you time to not think about what to do or what to wear. That means less stress and fewer decisions to make. Casual cute is my go-to outfit choice. Comfortable, but also somewhat stylish. If I feel good, I work better. Next, I prep my meals the night before just in case I get lazy and start spending money when I shouldn't be. Meal prepping is simple because you don't have to cook or wait the day of and all you have to do is warm it up. I can't stress enough how these have helped me manage my time effectively and efficiently.
Finally, put down your phone. Reduce the amount of time you spend looking at that screen and scrolling down different social media platforms. You'll be amazed at how refreshing it is to actually talk and look at people. To actually get your work done and pay attention to the little things in life. I am guilty of grabbing my phone every couple of minutes, but I'm finding a balance between creating content on social media and actually living my life.

On a side note, I read a piece by James Clear that really opened my eyes. Shonda Rimes said, "You don't have to know. You just have to keep moving forward. You just have to keep doing something, seizing the next opportunity, staying open to trying something new. It doesn't have to fit your vision of the perfect job or the perfect life. Perfect is boring and dreams are not real. Just … do" Therefore, don't be afraid of the unknown. It's okay to feel lost and confused, but it's not okay to stop there. Continue to create.

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.
