The Start Of The Fall Semester According To "Parks and Rec."

The Start Of The Fall Semester According To "Parks and Rec."
Giphy

Fall semester is underway, and you're so excited to be reunited with your friends and start new classes!


...until your first week is over and you already have three papers due soon, an exam coming up, several group projects to work on, all on top of working after classes and the four meetings you have during the week and weekend...



"Why am I already freaking and stressing out? We just got back!?" You say to yourself. Just so you don't explode from everything already, you ask your roommate and friends to help you out.

You get to your first class of the day and go to sit in that perfect spot you've planned out and find someone else in your seat...

Time for the first presentation...you haven't had class or done anything with these students (except the one who stole your seat), so you don't know how they're going to react or receive you...




Next class, you're working on group projects. Two of the students are arguing over how to do it, one guy is just sitting in the back on his phone, and someone else left for the bathroom 45 minutes ago. You decide to take over the whole operation.

Next class is your math class, and while your teacher is lecturing and explaining it all, you think you get it. When you get back home to start doing your work, you've forgotten everything you learned and doing homework is impossible.



When you stay up all night to finish a paper and study for exams, and drink so much Monster and coffee to stay alert, it feels like your heart is going to explode.

When Ramen noodles and Easy Mac cups won't cut it for dinner, you decide to hit up the nearest pizza place. You deserve it after all of this hard work!

Sometimes the work just gets to be too much and all you can do is lie in bed and watch Netflix to distract yourself from responsibilities. And you don't listen when your roommate suggests you start working so you won't be stressed out as much.

Pretty soon, the first weeks are over and everything seems like normal as you finally get into a routine and you aren't losing your mind every few moments. Everything is amazing and you feel great!

Until you remember.....

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.
