The Phases Of Applying For Co-op

It's February, and if you go to Northeastern, that means you're probably getting ready to apply for a co-op. But no matter how stressed you get, at least you know you're not the only one going through this right now!

First, you’re pumped. No classes for a semester, plus you get paid!

Seriously, think of all the money you’ll be making.

Then you remember how long it’s been since you updated your resume.

And when you do update it, you realize exactly how unqualified you are.

So naturally, you start to panic.

You search the website every night, hoping to find a perfect new co-op.

And realize just how many are unpaid.

You work up the courage to ask some people to be your references.

And feel validated when they say yes that maybe you can do this!

But then you read some more job descriptions and panic again. Who even needs to go on co-op anyways?

Your best friends do their best to calm you down.

And decide to go at this thing again.

Your co-op advisor becomes your best friend.

But eventually, you decide to submit your finalized resume, decide which co-ops you like the best and apply.

Someone is bound to hire you... right?

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.
