An Open Letter To College Students After Spring Break
news.uic

Dear College Students,

Spring break is here, and soon it will be over. With spring break being over, that means it is time to go back to college and start procrastinating on more work. I don't know about you, but once spring break is over it is really hard to focus and want to do anything that involves work or studying! The weather starts to get nicer, the sun comes out, and being outside is just pure joy. Sitting in a classroom when it is nice out is nothing but torture, and I am sure that many college students can agree with me. I am writing this letter to tell you that we only have a little over a month of college left, and then we are officially done for the summer! It may be difficult to sit down and study or do work, but trust me, you can do it if you put your mind to it. Even though we may struggle to stay focused on school work, we can tell ourselves that we are almost done and that we can finish this last month or so out. At this point in the semester when spring break is over, you probably have a countdown going just like I do. If you don't have a countdown for the remaining days of the semester, try making one and you will find you pushing yourself into doing work knowing that it is almost summer time!

After spring break is over, you will also find yourself struggling to continue wearing winter clothes. There is just something about spring break that gets me wanting to put away my winter clothes and get out my spring and summer clothes. There is probably going to be chances for more snow, and colder temperatures which really makes you miserable because you are just ready to say goodbye to heavy sweaters, jeans, and boots! The sun will be shining more, which makes it even harder knowing that the temperature still is not warm enough to wear shorts, skirts, and sandals.

As a college student I am writing this to say that there might be struggles day in and day out after spring break, and it may seem nearly impossible to continue doing school work and studying, but let me tell you it is possible! Set your goal as working towards summer vacation, and think that each assignment you turn in and each exam you complete, you are one step closer to summer!

Sincerely,

A college student who is struggling just thinking of spring break ending

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
