Welcome Back Hawks

The Realities That Hit You Harder Than The Real World Itself

Welcome Back Hawks

Every semester (fall and spring), it's almost like a rite of passage that everyone partakes in what we call 'syllabus week,' aka where you really don't do a whole lot because, this is the week to add or drop classes and get back into the groove of things. However, this week is also the only time where all of the realities of a college student hit at once. Here's why:

1. The Reunion

You see everyone like you haven't seen them in 60 years when in fact it's only been a few weeks.

2. Grocery shopping is a struggle in itself

The hatred for lines and rude people is endless.

3. The alarm that wakes you up just in time for class

We all know this pain.

4. Adding or dropping classes to find the best professor possible

Don't deny it you do it.

5. Skimming the syllabus over like a text message thinking it will be an 'easy class'

LOL.

6. Paying almost as much as a house for your textbooks

Thank you Chegg for your existence.

7. Reminding yourself every single day that you need to get your life together

8. Getting that first 'exclusive' invite to a little social event

Pure glee.

9. Making plans every night of the week

Because, why not be like Paris Hilton in her gory days?

10. Checking your email to an unhealthy degree to see if your professor assigned an actual assignment

Welcome back everyone and have a great semester!

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.
