There Is A Junior Year Slump, Too

There Is A Junior Year Slump, Too

The 'Sophomore Slump' is a pretty well-known phrase used to describe the halt many students hint in their motivation during their second year of college. What most don't know is, there is a junior year slump just the same.

The junior year slump is almost worse, because not only do you have that immature, yet justifiable feeling of "I just don't want to do this anymore," but you also have the anxiety of "Crap, I have to do this, because I have to graduate on time."

You have to think about internships in order to graduate.

Which are basically impossible to get.

Then there's balancing school and work and maintaining a decent GPA.

But by now, we're all older, and some of our friends are moving on, so we really just want to spend as much time partying with our friends as possible.

The struggle is real, especially when you hit the time after midterms and all that work just made you want to crawl back into bed and watch endless Netflix.

But no, not Netflix and chill.

You can make it through, you've made it this far, and this is the last year to enjoy before the depression of being a senior hits you hard, so don't let the slump get to you. This is the best year to truly live it up!

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.
