The Weekend Explained By The Weeknd

What makes the weekend so special? Abel tells us.

The Weekend Explained By The Weeknd

Everyone looks forward to it after a long and tiring work week, why? What is so great about the weekend? Who better to explain, than the man who chose his stage name after it: Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd.

Thursday:

"...on thursday, make sure you are thirsty..."

'Thirsty Thursday' is the college equivalent of a Friday.

"When the sun goes down, I know what you become
You become awake, unlike the rest of us"

Everyone is going out, whether or not they're looking to actually quench their thirst or quench a different type of thirst.

"You don't know what's in store, but you know what you're here for"


Friday:

"...Why would you try to waste this precious time? Cause tonight I'll be right here and tomorrow you won't care..."

The weekend rolls around once a week, and for those who couldn't go out on Thursday, probably because they had classes on Friday, are now going out.

"Only losers go to school"

There's no time to waste. Everyone deserves to loosen up after a long stressful week of classes. Friday is the day that everyone forgets about their college career at least for a little while.



Saturday:

"..Said I'm two days strong, and never sleep until it's mornin'.."

Some people have been out partying since Thursday, making Saturday their day three of partying or just having a wild time with their friends. For others, Saturday is their Sunday--A day where they take the time to recuperate after two wild nights and a lack of sleep.

"Waking up, half past five...Drunk too much, you know what I'm like"

Either way, there is never a lack of hung over college kids at the dining halls getting breakfast around noon.


Sunday:

"There comes a time in a man's life when he must take responsibility for the choices he has made"

Oh the dreaded Sunday--While the rest of the world is using this day to relax from their Friday and or Saturday's, college students are using this day to catch up on all the school work they were supposed to do over the weekend. They're also preparing for the dreaded Monday to roll around.

But hey--there is always next weekend to look forward to!

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.
