The Up-Hill Battle Through Dead Week is Coming To An End

I charged into it strong and will finish it begging for mercy

Dead week is coming to an end and there are many things that are flying through my head. One of the biggest semesters of my life is coming to a close. It should only be smooth sailing from here on out to achieve my degree, both major and a minor. That seems to be the norm as of today, but I am still pretty psyched about it.

But my thesis is soon to be in the review mirror. The class and paper that was the make or break for my degree has made it. I can finally return all these overdue library books (oops). I can throw the probably hundreds of papers of downloaded references into a stack in my closet. A few final touches onto my paper and I can call my capstone course complete.

I was also able to give many other classes the attention they needed throughout this week as well. And I will have to continue to give them love through the weekend to catch up. It's amazing what can take a backseat to a single class. Although it makes sense.

The late hours will soon come to an end. I have to say, it is pretty great of NDSU to extend library hours to 24/7 for all of us crammers. Thank god for the Blue Key Society for volunteering those late night hours. They are the reason that most of us complete our work on time and get a passing grade. Here's to you, volunteers of NDSU. I can't leave out the dogs that come around a few times during dead week as well. nothing better than getting to pet a dog or 5 while procrastinating multiple papers.

Speaking of procrastination, I should probably get back to working on some coding projects I have to do for a web design class.

Good luck to the rest of you who are out there struggle-bussin' along with me!

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.
