Musings on what's going to happen for the new semester

Sunset Of Summer Vacation
Steve Rotermund

Whether you're a recently graduated high schooler or a college student going back for yet another semester, this is what we're all thinking as we get ready for the upcoming fall semester.

1. Get ready for social suicide. With each new semester of school, the classes get harder, the homework takes more time, and you have less free time to see friends. But hey, you haven't seen your friends for the majority of the summer, and it will be nice to see them again. Hopefully without the drama.

2. Whelp, time to say goodbye to any spending money I had over the summer. No time, no money, more problems. What a joy.

3. For those of you with jobs, whoa, good for you. Your social life is probably going to be even /more/ dead! Congradulations. But hey, at least you're going to have some money coming in. Even if it's not all that much.

4. Wow, I didn't spend my summer vacation actually doing anything. I don't know about you, but I spent the majority of my summer cooped up inside because it was just way too hot. Curse this terrible weather. At least fall is going to be cooler and I can actually go out. Sometimes.

5. Wait, new professors are going to be a thing. I wonder if that one professor from that one class I hated is still teaching? I hope the people in their class do better than I did if that's the case.

6. Wait, wait, it's almost fall. That means there are literally the best holidays coming?? Holy crap, I can't believe Halloween is only two and a half months away- Am I too old for trick or treating?

7. Does this mean that I'm going to have even more friends because I have more classes? Even though I have even less free time?

8. I'm literally so glad that I have an excuse to get out of the house. Being cooped up at home sucks. Even if it is just for school.

9. Hopefully all my friends from last semester that I haven't talked to over the summer are okay. I wonder how many of them aren't going to be here this semester?

10. So glad I'm in college and not high school. I'm a grown adult, and I can honestly say that at least the "best years of my life" are over, because high school was terrible.

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.
