The Symptoms Of The Sophomore Slump
The Odyssey Online

Didn't think your constant mood this year had a name? Yeah, me either. Here are the symptoms in case you have it bad, but don't worry you, won't need to rush to the hospital. There is a simple cure.

1) The thought of walking into class without a finished paper or assignment does not bother you.

2) You stopped caring about going out every weekend.

3) Pictures of campus on Instagram are not as amusing as they used to be.

Your reactions to most things about campus begin to look like Kanye


4) Relationships become complicated out of nowhere.

5) You become annoyed with everyone very quickly.

And you start to look like Shia LaBeouf watching his own movies.

6) The stress causes you to act out.

7) You only show up to events and meetings because there is promised food

And when there isn't...

8) Crying becomes a daily thing


We basically became overlooked middle children. College doesn't have the newness it did our first year and we are disappointed and constantly questioning why we came to college. There is a simple cure: survive sophomore year. That seems hard, I know. For most of us, our sophomore year is almost over (scary) and it's just about reminding ourselves why we came here in the first place. The only way to beat it is to not let it fail. Also, laughter is the best medicine, remember that one. Just remind your self the fact you are in even in college is great enough.

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.
