Winter Break Celebration

Just something I wrote on the feeling of winter break in my opinion

Winter Break Celebration

Even as a little girl, I had something that I had to do that was due by the time I got back to school. Middle school was starting or finishing up a science fair project, man it's been years since I've done one, for my class. High school, each year was a combination of something that I had to do before I got back to school, but I am actually kind of happy that it wasn't anything finals related since we took them before we go on winter break. I remembered freshman year was a world history project, sophomore year was a geometry project or chemistry work, junior year was a thick physics packet, and senior year was the big senior project which was the next draft for my 8-10 page research paper.

Now that I am in college, once finals are over, I won't have to do any type of work or project over the break that's due by the time I'm back in school. The only thing that I have to do is buy textbooks for all five out of six of my classes...yay. At least I have like a whole month until I have to buy them.

My first semester of college wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be, but I know that as you keep going into the next semester and afterwards, it may get more challenging, but I'll be prepared for it. My next semester schedule isn't terrible, but it is classes back to back from 9-11 with my day being done on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:50 and Tuesday and Thursday at 11:45. No more night classes for me, until next semester or the one after that.

Being home for a month is going to be the best thing ever. Two weeks of winter break just didn't feel long enough depending on the placement of Christmas and New Years Day. Now I have a month, and there are so many things I need to catch up on. Besides sleep being the number one priority since my sleep schedule is all out of wack, there are some anime and k-dramas that I can start and probably finish or catch up in the matter of days or two weeks at most. And lastly, with me being a bookworm buying so many books, I can start and hopefully finish a few by the time I go back to school.

With my love for k-pop, so many groups that I am a fan of are releasing Christmas albums so I have a lot of Christmas songs to listen besides the classics. Plus, they love to release so many albums and with me being the broke college student that I am, I can't buy any of them. I already bought one of my favorite group, Season Greetings, last month and now all of the other groups are releasing theirs now. It's a sad day as I hope for them to put their songs on Spotify.

To wrap up this long drabble, I hope everyone enjoys their winter break, no matter how long it is, and have a Happy Holidays as we enter the year 2017!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
