Don't Give Up

We have made it to a little over half way through the semester already. It's crazy how fast time flies. I'm sure there are many of you who would agree with me that this is our harder semester yet. I thought last year was hard but it's nothing like this year. Some classes are the classes where you have to be happy that you tried your best even if you didn't get the grade you wanted. I personally let my grades affect me more than I should so this semester has really been the struggle for me. It's hard not to be upset or cry when I don't get in the 90's on the quiz or exam. I spend most of my weekends inside at my desk doing homework than out with my friends.

My anxiety level this semester has sky rocketed. Well like I said, I bet I'm not the only one and a lot of you feel the same way. So, I'm here to give us all hope. Like I said in the beginning of the article, this semester is already more than half way over. Before we know it, it will be Christmas. I'm begging you all to not let the stress influence you to give up on your classes yet. We have all worked so hard up to this point, it would be terrible to have it all go to waste. Hopefully you had a fun Halloween weekend and now this week you can get back to studying and focusing on what really matters. Try to be hopeful and positive.

We are all smart in our own ways and hard work always pays off. Lock yourself at your desk or go to the library. Read your class book or take more notes. Review the material in each class after each class. Relax before an exam and trust yourself. God is always with us and has a plan for us. If you studied your hardest, that's all that matters. Don't let a couple bad grades demotivate you and have you give up. Make those bad grades influence you to get up and try again. Make them influence you to study even harder and prove to yourself that you can still get more good grades. We are all in this together.

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.

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.
