The Struggles Leading Up to Spring Break

One more week. Just one more week until I can hop on a plane and spend 10 glorious days in paradise. Although the semester is only six weeks in, I can already feel my brain starting to fry and the energy being sapped out of my body. Although we are in the middle of midterms season, it's been hard to really get into the zone, especially with the prospect of freedom being so close. It's been a serious struggle.

1. Only one more week. Spring break, I'm ready for ya.

 

2. I'm going to definitely work out and watch what I eat because I will be rocking that bikini. Hot beach body, here I come.

3. Right after this cupcake.

4. And this slice of pizza.

5. You know what, this obviously isn't happening, but whatever. #BodyPositivity, y'all.

6. Ugh, I still have 3 midterms and 2 essays due. Gotta power through.

7. Now to write this essay. Only four pages. Due in 12 hours. I can definitely do this.

8. But wait, HOUSE OF CARDS SEASON 3. I'll just watch the first episode. 

9. Wow, that was great. Eh, I guess another one won't hurt. 

10. What time is it? Shit.

11. No problem, just have to crank it out. I CAN DEFINITELY DO THIS.

12. I feel as if 4 pages is merely a suggestion — 3 pages is completely okay, right?

13. Whatever. Submitting. This is happening. I can cry about it later. 

14. Shoot, I have a Spanish midterm tomorrow. I should probably actually study for this considering I'm going to a Spanish-speaking country. 

15. Studying commences now. 

16. When did I fall asleep?

17. Well, that midterm didn't go as well as I planned, but as they say in Mexico, "Que sera, sera."

 

18. Now that all of that's over, it's finally time to relax.

19. Except I still need to pack.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
