Summer Break As Told By A College Student
Tigist Layne

Remember the days when Summer seemed like the pinnacle of anything and everything? When you would start counting down the days until break as soon as October hit? In high school, Summer meant seeing your best friends every day minus the boring learning and the hours of homework. Well, not to say that Summer isn't fun once you go to college, but it's definitely different. Especially for us out-of-staters, Summer break can be a little bittersweet sometimes. So without further ado, here is Summer as told by a fellow college student.

1. You're basically in bed for the first, like, two weeks.

Because it's probably been a couple of months since you've gotten a decent night of sleep or even had a solid Netflix binge session, you go a little overboard in the beginning of summer, but hey, we've all been there.

2. You get to reunite with your OG squad.

After you finally get out of bed, you realize how much you have missed your old friends and you, of course, proceed to spend every waking moment with them that you can.

4. Eventually, reality hits and you realize you're incredibly broke.

And you know what that means!!!

Every. Single. Day.

5. You also have to deal with this new concept called boredom.

You see, unlike college, you can no longer walk five feet from your room at two in the morning and find yourself surrounded by all of your friends. Instead, you have to settle with watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians with your cat.

6. Of course, we can't forget about your time spent endlessly struggling for that perfect summer bod.

or not.

7. But despite missing your college friends and having to work a lot, Summer is still wonderful because of the family, friends, and adventures you've got right here at home.

Because let's be honest, who doesn't love Summer?

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.
