A Letter To My Friends And Family: Exam Week Edition

To my friends & family,

It is, unfortunately, a time we all dread immensely. I am very sorry to inform you that the college exam week is just around the corner. I know it may not seem so terrible but I promise there is nothing remotely fun about them.

As this time of year comes to a start I would just like to apologize to you in advance and give you a few days notice for my absence for the next few days. If you need to find me your best bet is to look for me at Starbucks, the library or even the study room at my apartment complex.

I would also like to pre-warn my bank account, I am sorry for the negative funds you are about to have because of the number of coffee runs I will be making. I am sorry but the only way a college student can make it through exam week is by living off coffee.

The exhaustion I am about to incur is nowhere close to what you have ever experienced before. Let's just say that sleep is not a thing. And if it is, it is not the greatest of sleep - that is for sure. Exam week brings on a load of exhaustion, one that you can't just sleep off in a night or two. So, if I come home for winter break and I sleep for a few days don't be too concerned.

After this week I promise that I will be more present and you'll definitely hear back from me. For now, though, don't accept many calls. Just know and feel a little bad for me because my head is mostly stuck inside my textbook as I am trying to learn an entire semesters worth of knowledge.

I hope you understand this struggle that I am dealing with. Just trying to finish the semester off strong and winter break on a high note.

Speak to you soon!

Love always,

A stressed-out college student

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.
