Thoughts College Students Have When Break is Over
Monsters University

When school is about to be back in session, or perhaps it has already started for you, a few thoughts go through our minds. Everything from panic, excitment, to pure nervousness- college providdes us with all of these things, sometimes at different times or all at once.

"Do I need all of these books?"

"How long can I get away with not buying these books?"

"If I wait too long to buy books, I'm going to have to give in a spend too much money at the bookstore."

"If there's 25 people in my class, will my professorreally notice if I'm not there?"

"Where is the best place to sit if I plan on napping a little?"


"I wonder if 'insert name here' missed me over break?"

"I definietly didn't miss him/her."


"Syllabus week is also the week where I replace classes I find too hard."

"Let's hope none of the classes I drop are major requirements."

"Should I have a minor at this point?"

"Should I know what I want to do with my degree?"

"What even is my degree again?"


"I wonder how much I'm paying for one class."

"I'm going to do the math."

"Just kidding, I really don't want to cry so early on in the semester."

"Speaking of money, how much have I spent on my higher education already?"

"Ya, I need to change the topic."


"I better see lots of dogs on campus."

"I love dogs."

"How long can I go wearing the same pair of yoga pants?"

"I wonder if anyone can tell I didn't shower today."

"I'm not wearing real clothes this semester."

"Unless I go out. Then I'm borrowing real clothes from friends."


"I should've worked more over break."

"Why did break go by so fast?"

"How will I manage work and school AND play??"

"I've done it before, I can do it again."

"Or can I??"



"I am calm, cool, and collective."

"I am definitely not calm, but I am a good pretender."

"I shall survive this."

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.
