The Spring Semester Slump As Told By 'Parks and Recreation'
Typeset

The spring semester always seems to fly by faster than we can even unpack from winter break. The spring semester seems to be filled to the brim of assignments, exams, papers, projects, meetings and more. We know we have all these tasks to complete because it will benefit our future but most of us have lost all motivation. Just think, two more months and then summer.

Spring semester's weather is also very confusing especially this year. We all thought spring came early then winter took back over. Winter came back to surprise us all.

The laziness is unreal. Even with all the things coming up and assignments due, all we actually want to do is sleep though. Then we fall behind and try and take a nap thinking it will solve all of our problems. Spoiler Alert: It does not.

So since you took a nap and procrastinated, the stress levels have risen. Right now it seems like there is not enough time in the day to get everything you need to get done and have a well balanced social life, but somehow it will get completed.

The Spring Break comes along, and the perfect getaway is made. The worries seem to be left behind on campus while you either go home or the perfect vacation. Being 21 or older means that you will, probably, spend most of the break with some type of drink in your hand.

When we all return from break, the stress continues and the assignments continue to pile up like there was never a break anyway. For some classes, students may of even had an assignment over break. Which means it wasn't really a break at all.

But in the end, remember that you are capable anything you put your mind to. Study for those exams, finish those assignments, have some personal time, go to coffee with a friend. Find the time management skills that work for you. Then before you know it, you'll be driving away with your car fully packed ready for summer.

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.
