A Glimpse Of Summer In The Winter...

One of the best feelings in the world is waking up on a beautiful seventy-degree morning in the middle of February after a snow storm two days prior. People hanging out of their balconies with their friends, laying on the quad doing homework while playing the newest country hits, playing catch along the streets and soaking in the much-needed vitamin D.

Although you may have class, you spend every minute you can outside. You see people that you normally don't hang out with and wind up doing work with them at a picnic table and meet new people that you have never seen before walking around campus. It is a day of friends, homework and the needed sunshine that you haven't seen all winter.

It is a tease for the upcoming days in the spring semester that we have yet to encounter. You face the temptation of not going to class and soaking up every minute this day has to offer. Peoples attitudes change. You see the people that are normally cooped up in their 4 by 4 dorm room playing fortnite with eight of their closest friends playing catch with a football outside their dorm. You see the gym rats outside running around campus instead of inside the weight room. You even see the teachers holding class outside because we all know living in New England is unpredictable and the forecast for tomorrow is probably cloudy and 41 degrees. Although we may not have many of these days in the winter, they bring classmates and friends closer together and give us a glimpse of what is yet to come.

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.
