WHAT THE HELL!? We had a plan!

This Is What Your Body Is Telling You By The Second Week of The Semester
The Mighty

When we go on break, we tell ourselves that our bodies need breaks so we can be refreshed for the next semester. So we sleep in every single day because we never get that sleep during the semester. We eat whatever we want because we try to eat healthy all the time while we are at school. We say the week before we will try to get back on schedule so we are prepared for the semester! Except we do none of that because the break sneaks up on us and we are dying by the second week of the semester! I wonder what our bodies could actually be saying to us by this time? You know what, I will take a wild guess what they could be saying due to forcing our bodies into the harsh world we call college.

Dear whomever this body belongs to,

WHAT THE HELL!? We had a plan! The brain literally us told that we needed to prepare for this! Yes at this point I was telling you to not worry about it because I told you that we had more time or just that I was very sleepy. I also told you I wanted more sleep because you put me through hell so I wanted to be pampered from head to toe!

So I will take partial blame for this, but like really what did you do to me!? I was sleeping in until probably 10-12 and now I am waking up at 8 or 9!? Do you see how HORRIBLE that sounds for me? I understood for the first week because we had to jump back into it, but wait that was not the only thing you did to me! You put me through PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES that you did not prepare for me! You did not do any of that over the break! The most you probably did was go to the kitchen to make food or walk to the bathroom! I cried at you for a couple of days because you did not warn me about what was to come!

FEED ME! Did you read that correctly? Please do not just feed me junk food or the same bubbly, carbonated stuff you know won't help you through your long day! I need 3 meals a day at a MINIMUM! I don't care if you get all the food groups in or not: I just want meat or protein, and everything that gives me energy! Protein shakes sound just fine as long as it has what it needs to make it a meal and just not because it taste good in milk or water. I am your growing body no matter how much damage you have caused me so far. YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ME!

I appreciate what you have done so far, but we have until May to get through this and you need to do better!

Sincerely,

Your Body

Well I mean I am sorry body and I will try to do better! I like sleep a lot and thought that is what you wanted...I guess not! So to everyone else who is dragging in their second week, listen to what your body is telling you! We only have one and if we do not take care of it we may not one and who doesn't love their body?

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.
