Is It Thanksgiving Break Yet?
Losing It

It's that time of year, the holiday season. The wind is brisk, "Elf" is playing on TV, and I have two projects, three presentations, and 17 papers due by next Friday. The fall semester has it's perks, with the multitude of breaks and the change of season, but it's also the time where the end feels so close, yet so so far. Thanksgiving break, in all of its wonder, is just around the corner. Here are just some of the many reasons why Thanksgiving break cannot come fast enough.

My wallet is pissed at how much money I've been spending on coffee for all the all-nighters.


I have forgotten what it is like to get more than six hours of sleep...actually... What is sleep?

My diet has consisted of Easy Mac, coffee, and chips...Thanksgiving dinner is about to pour a whole new sense of life into me.


If I have to hear the alarm clock go off one more time...


I need this time to put the pieces of my life back together.


I can't remember when I did my laundry last... should probably get that done.


My motivation lasted as long as the A's I had at the beginning of the semester.

Netflix has taken a backseat to homework; it just isn't right.

When I come back from break, my roommate won't think I'm insane for playing christmas music and decorating.


I feel like there is more of a chance that it will snow after Thanksgiving, and that means no class.



With all of that being said, is it Thanksgiving break yet?!

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.
