The Sophomore Slump As Told By Chandler Bing
tumblr.com

There are few things that are better than your freshman year of college. You get to move to a new place, make a brand new group of friends, and you are finally living on your own. Freshman year rocks. Then comes sophomore year. You're not new on campus anymore, you're not a senior, and you're not turning 21 this year. The thrill of college has kind of worn off and you're comfortable with your friends and your living environment. You start to realize that it might be time to figure your life out (it seems like everyone else has). The real world is getting closer by the second. Guess what? You're smack dab in the middle of your sophomore year slump.


Looking back on freshman year, you realize that you were so young, so naive, and so full of life.


Everyone is out getting a real job/internship.


Your classes are getting harder.


You can't use being a freshman as an excuse anymore.

However, you can definitely look back and wish that you hadn't done that so much last year.


You should probably join a club.

This thought was probably triggered by a quick glance at your resume.


When you look at your GPA, it isn't what it used to be.


You start to realize that you're halfway done with college.


Everyone is getting into serious relationships.


You have to accept the fact that you are officially a NARP.

In freshman year, you could still say that you were an athlete in high school and that you will probably start playing again soon. Now, you're just like the rest of 'em.


You have to start thinking about your future.



Unfortunately, all of this makes you too tired to care.

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.
