After a much-needed winter break, we’re eagerly and apprehensively approaching second semester. For most of us, we’ve forgotten how to hold a pencil and sure as hell won’t remember to put “2018” when dating our papers. But after countless hours spent in front of the TV on the couch and maybe too much family time (still love you all), we’re definitely ready to go back to school.

First semester may have been filled with sunny Caturdays, football tailgates, and emptying your wallet at Keeneland, but trust me, the fun doesn’t end here. Spring semester at the University of Kentucky doesn’t disappoint.

10 things to look forward to in the spring semester at the University of Kentucky:

1. Basketball season

We may not be a football school, but thank god for basketball season. Basketball isn't just a sport here in Kentucky, it's a way of life.

2. Keeneland Spring Meet

Just when you thought you were done throwing away what little money you have in your slim college wallet on horse bets, Keeneland is back for the spring season! A Friday or Saturday spent at Keeneland should be on every UK student's bucket list.

3. March Madness

We may have previously mentioned basketball season, but March Madness at UK is in a category of its own. Couches may be burned in the process.

4. Spring Break

Yes, winter break ended nearly a week ago and we're already talking about the next break. We'll take all the days off that we can get.

5. Warm weather again

Is it just me or does this winter seem to be particularly more painful than those in the past? I'm ready to bring the Lulu shorts and Chacos back out.

6. Baseball season

You read correctly, baseball season. Not only is UK's baseball team actually pretty good, but the games are super fun. Any excuse to tailgate, right?

7. Spring formals

New Orleans, Daytona Beach, Toronto, Tybee Island- oh the places we will go. The coolers are well worth it ladies.

8. New semester, new schedule

Kiss that 8 am goodbye and RIP statistics! One of the best things about starting a new semester is getting a new schedule.

9. Ending the semester with the Kentucky Derby only an hour away

Although the Kentucky Derby may be in Louisville, it's less than 100 miles away. The Kentucky Derby is Keeneland on steroids and everyone should experience it at least once in their lifetime. What better way to end the semester?

10. Another semester spent at the wonderful University of Kentucky

At the end of the semester, it's another year down here at UK. The weeks go by faster and faster and time just doesn't seem to slow down.

Will we ever be ready for the real world?

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

By: James McDonald

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.
