How It Feels At The End Of Every Semester

It's a crazy sprint to the finish line.

How It Feels At The End Of Every Semester
Tumblr

Here we are again: Easter break is over and there are only a few weeks left in the semester. After the short weekend, the hailstorm of projects, papers and tests will come raining down, and they won't stop until mid-May.

1. You get back from Easter break and everything seems okay for a full four seconds.

2. Then you take a look at your calendar and realize how much work is coming up in the next week, alone.

3. You sit down and make a neat and detailed list of everything that you need to do until the end of the semester ... and you get so caught up making that list that you don't end up doing any actual work.

4. Alright, fine; quick Netflix break. You deserve it. Maybe.

5. Six episodes later, you sit down to write your essay and the prompt is so uninteresting that you just take a nap.

6. You wake up re-energized and ready to get to work, but your mind is so all over the place that you can't decide where to start.

7. You pick an assignment and sit down and get it done.

8. Yes! Write that paper! Do that take-home test! Complete those professor evaluations!

9. Oh no ... you didn't forget that you have to pack, did you?


10. You didn't forget that you have to SLEEP, did you???

11. You take a three-hour nap and wake up just in time for that 8 a.m. final.

12. You write furiously for a full hour and dump everything out of your brain and onto the paper.

13. Victory! You've turned it in! You're done! Go home and enjoy your summer!

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.
