Syllabus Week As Told By "The Office"

There is no such thing as too much mental preparation.

Syllabus Week As Told By "The Office"

It is finally the end of winter break, and it is time to start the new semester! You cannot contain the joy of seeing your friends again, and being back at your home away from home. New semester, new you. You tell yourself you are going to procrastinate less, eat healthier, get enough sleep, and exercise more. This semester is going to be even better than the last.



1. You have settled in again and it hits you- you actually have to go to class tomorrow morning.

You have to wake up at a disgustingly early time... so like 8 a.m... it's time to mentally prepare.


2. You get yourself to class on time, and you are praying that your professor does not keep you for the entire class time.

It's 10 minutes into class and your professor is already done going over the syllabus. And wait what... they're ALREADY TEACHING YOU REAL THINGS???


This is where it all starts to go downhill.

3. It is the third day of the semester and you are already drowning in work.


4. The only thing (barely) getting you through is the thought of first weekend getting closer and closer.


5. The classes you thought were going to be interesting and on the easier side have taught you that there is actually probably no such thing in college.


6. Your hopes of procrastinating less have already gone down the drain.


7. And you can totally forget about the whole "eating healthier" thing when stress eating comes into play.


8. You walk out of your last class on Friday and you cannot wait for the nap you are going to take when you get back to your dorm (because yes, you're already sleep deprived).

The week wasn't terrible. But it definitely hurt your soul a significant amount.

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.
