The 15 Phases Of The School Year

I think we all know the struggle.. The highs in college are very high, but the lows are verrry low. As the school year goes on all sorts of feelings are felt. Sometimes you're happy and optimistic and sometimes all you want to do is curl up and sleep for eternity. Whatever it is you're feeling, you know it comes and goes in waves and that more often than not you're going to get over any hurdle you come across. Here are the 15 phases of the school year that just about anyone can relate to.

1. You’re happy and excited to be with all of your friends all the time again.


2. Nothing better than fresh notebooks, planners and folders. You're optimistic about classes.

3. A few weeks in you’re getting a little tired of everything but a night out with friends reassures you that you're happy where you're at.

4. You start to miss your mom’s home cooked meals, college meals just aren't cutting it any more.

5. You’re starting to get just a little sick of everyone who you're surrounded by day after day.


6. Thanksgiving break comes around just in time, your sanity is restored and you couldn't be happier.

7. Back to school. Finals. Bye bye restored sanity.


8. Christmas break. Also known as Heaven on Earth. Good food, familiar people, presents, what more could you ask for?

9. Back to school. Optimism sort of kicks in again.

10. It’s cold and icy and you lose the motivation to even get out of bed to go to class.


11. Valentine’s Day. Need I say more?

12. A lot of suffering until Spring Break comes along, aka the second coming of Heaven on Earth.


13. That was the quickest break ever.. I don't want to be back yet.


14. Finals again? There’s not enough coffee in this world.


15. Just when you feel like you're going to curl up and die. SUMMER!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
