Welcome to the End of the Semester

Only the strong survive.

Welcome to the End of the Semester

During the beginning of the semester, your main goal is a balance between school, social life, family and friends, a job, and yourself. When the mid-end arrives, you want nothing more than for it to be over, because that balance has been completely destroyed by breakdowns and all-nighters, trying to figure out how many points you need on an exam to pass the class. Here are some feelings we all experience during the end of the semester.

  • When you realized you haven’t called your mom in two weeks.
  • Realizing you have two weeks to do literally everything you’ve been putting off since midterms.
  • Trying to hang out with your friends and study.
  • Looking like a bum going to class because you just don’t care.
  • Seeing other people cry and you know why, because they sit behind you in the same class.
  • Thinking to yourself, “is this all really worth it?”
  • Wondering if your teachers are really Satan and have a rock band together.
  • Trying to finish all your homework over Thanksgiving break, but realizing you can’t because it's break, and you don’t deserve to stress on a Holiday when you could be consuming all the turkey in the world.
  • Coming to terms with the fact that dead week is a complete myth.
  • When the semester ends and you have a whole month before you have to do it all over again.

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.
