You're Almost There

You're Almost There

For every college student reading this, you know it's crunch time. Whether you are currently/have been on break or in the process of finishing the semester, every college student can agree that finals week is one of the most stressful weeks of any given time.

You're thinking that the semester is going smooth and steady and then all of a sudden...BAM! The last few weeks are just around the corner. Those last-minute assignments that professors forget to tell you until close to the end? Say hello to additional stress piling up.

Whether you're studying for exams, finishing up projects, writing papers, or prepping for that final presentation, it's nothing but anxiety and stress in the air. Coffee becomes your best friend (or in my case, tea). The late night munchies kick in to gear during the most random hours of the night. And those frequent trips to 7-Eleven, Dunkin, Wawa, or any gas station? Yeah that becomes a normal cycle.

And to make it even busier? The Holidays are in the air. You want to be in the holiday spirit yet it's sort of hard to when all these necessary assignments, tests, papers, projects, and presentations are piling up. All that holiday shopping? That will have to wait until the week of Christmas.

Flash forward to now, the present. The finished line is awaiting. For every college student out there (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, super senior, etc.) currently studying, typing, prepping their life away, keep that end goal in mind. All those late night studying, typing, prepping, frequent gas station runs, and coffee trips will be worth it. You're going to look back at each semester/quarter and year and think, "Damn, I sure did survive that roller coaster."

Keep your head held high. You're almost done.

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.

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.
