Have you ever noticed how right after spring break it seems almost impossible to get motivated again? Completing homework, doing chores, or even reading one chapter of a book seems to be a strenuous task. With these top four methods you will be motivated in no time:


1. Get Organized

Getting organized truly helps you realize what needs to stay and what needs to go. With a simple task such as this one, once you have cleaned out your backpack and organized your folders, it will be easier to see what you need to do and will slowly push you toward a motivated and better you.

2. Write a List

Write a list of all the reasons why you need to be motivated. What are your goals? What do you want to achieve and how are you going to achieve it?


3. Take Breaks

After you have completed a few minor tasks, take a break! Take a break in between two or three tasks to make sure that you're not exhausted. You could grab a snack, watch ten minutes of a show, etc.



4. Negotiate

Negotiate with yourself. For example, get that biology project done before the end of the week and then allow yourself to splurge and binge watch a season on Netflix. By creating these negotiations you are forcing to get work done in order for a nice reward.


Overall, whether you follow these four tips or do something of your own, it's not easy to get back into the strenuous, stressful, and anxiety-prone lifestyle that so many students follow at school. Make sure you take breaks and treat yourself once you have completed all of your hard work.

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.
