7 Things I'll Think Twice About Before Complaining Next Semester

Because I'd have an 8:30 every day just to be back on campus.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the stress of being a junior in a rigorous nursing program will ht me like a ton of bricks. Especially the part where I had online clinical this semester so I'll be waking up at 5am the first Monday of school and have no idea what I am getting myself into. However, from where I am sitting now, I would sacrifice everything- a full nights sleep, my own bed, even delicious home cooked meals just to be back at college training for the rest of my life with some of my best friends. What I would give to run to one more school mass after a study session and then run for mass to a sorority chapter meeting.

1. Not getting a full nights sleep. 

Getting 8 hrs is way overrated when it means I'm 3000 miles away from my many of my friends (I love my friends here but I can't see them rn anyway because of quarantine) and I'm not staying up late excited and scared out of my mind for that first clinical day on the hospital floor.

2. Dining Hall Food/ Coffee 

Don't get me wrong I like having more time to cook and enjoy my mom's homecooked meals but I really miss grabbing a coffee and a bagel in between classes with my girls.

3. Large Distances In Between Classes 

Because atleast I'll be going to an in person class and not zoom university.

4. Busy Libraries/Study Spaces

Honestly after quarantine I might just plop myself down near anyone and start working - human contact!

5. Long/ Crowded lines 

Do I want (need) my coffee ASAP? Yes. But I will relish in being able to stand in line next to other students and not being wearing a mask or being hyper aware of my distance.

6. Early classes

Okay, this one can still be tough (hello 5 AM clinical wakeup) but atleast I'm actually going to a class and not just back and forth from my living room to the bedroom. Maybe time will stop being such a blur

7. Extra Activities 

I'm involved in a lot. I was never one to want to spend my college years only in a classroom and in an apartment/dorm. I feel like you miss out on so much growth and learning that way. I like to be involved and feel like I am doing something or making a difference. Sometimes it gets really really overwhelming but right now I really wish I was working a service shift for my sorority or giving a freshman a tour of the nursing school.

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.
