The Back To School Pep Talk
Hannah Tamul

Let's face it..

School is about to start back up and you probably haven't done a single thing to even prepare. Well maybe you did get your first day of school outfit or those new pair of shoes you want to roll up in.

We've spent the past 3 months laying in the sun, hanging out w friends, and going on adventures. You tried to push the thought of school creeping up around the corner out of your mind.

How can we prepare ourselves for the next year? It is time to learn the importance of accepting this.

You've gone through this over and over. So how do you tell yourself you got this!!

Well it is quite easy...

Prepare yourself: Get your shi*t right now! GO NOW!! I've learned the very hard way that if you come unprepared you my friend will not be getting that letter of recommendation you NEED. School supplies are always a necessity. Like your textbook that will get you an A in the class.

Make friends, I know it may be hard to get to know strangers in your class but that is how you will succeed. If you don't want to go to class the next day feel free to ask that guy that you've been sitting next to to give you all the details.

I am of the fortunate few who enjoys being at school, yes it can be very boring but also in college you get time to learn about what you want when you want it. Make the best of it.

So get excited! Let yourself enjoy the place that can honestly keep your mind off the other things going on in your life.

The first day of school is always the hardest.

Start the day with a bomb outfit and a great pep talk. Look yourself in the mirror, these sixteen weeks are going to fly by, you will kick a#!, you are great, and nobody can stop you. You look amazing.

As my mother likes to say treat yo self. Get something special on the way to the first day of school. I like to treat myself to a Dunkin Donut coffee and some of their amazing hash browns. Rewarding yourself can make the day feel like it is going smoother than you think.

Late to class because you can't find it? Don't sweat it! Teachers can be very understanding since they go through the same thing as you. They don't always know where their going. Eventually you'll find it.

Try not to get scheduled for work on the first day of classes, You definitely don't want to have to worry about going from a stressful environment to another one. It is best to give yourself time to relax.

Overall, just know that eventually you will get in the swing of things as soon as it to be over again. Don't sweat the small stuff. Try harder and harder. Life isn't easy and neither is school but with the right boost of confidence you should be able to conquer it! Best of luck my friends!!

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.
