As August keeps rolling on, college kids have one thing on their minds: going back to school. While there is some sense of summer sadness, it won't last. Here are, in order, the feelings and thoughts every college student has towards the end of summer.


1. End of summer sadness

It sucks to have classes and all, but like, it's not a major priority. Summer was fun, and you're sad it's over, but it is COLLEGE after all!


2. Anxiety about packing

What will you actually wear this year, and how much will you use before you go home during the semester break?


3. Excitement about seeing friends

All your friends are down the hall now! No more "IMY" texts, you will bump into each other in the bathrooms!


4. Excitement for parties, football games, and living right next to your friends.

What's better than a tailgate? Or a football game in the early fall heat? NOTHING!


5. Depressed because classes mean work

You can't go out every night after syllabus week... Bummer man. But, work hard, play harder, right?


6. Excitement about leaving home

While you may love summer, being around your family and having to follow your parent's rules again can be a PITA (pain in the ass). You can only miss them if you go away! And vice versa.


7. Some sadness about missing your family and friends at home

Going means goodbyes which always suck. Some of your friends won't being back when you get to campus, and your family won't be either. Yeah, they can all be annoying at times, but they are your family and childhood friends.


8. The frustration of trying to get all your stuff to fit into a car

How can what seems to be only the essentials barely fit in your dad's SUV!? Ridiculous how size estimation NEVER works, UGH!


9. Exhaustion while unpacking and moving all your stuff into a room while everyone else is, too

How heavy could a MINI fridge be!? Okay, let's be real, my dad carries this for me, with my help sometimes. Even a box of clothes or shoes, jeez Louise they make you sweaty and tired.


10. The relief when you finish unpacking and can start your life again

Smiles and teary goodbyes to your family, before you wipe them and go hug your friends hi!


All in all, most of the summer flies by, but the end either goes by too slowly or too quickly... and there's no in between! The end of a season, especially the summer, comes with highs and lows and many in betweens. Emotions run as high as the heat and often times can run even higher. Cherish the time you have left with everyone at home, pack thoroughly, and get ready to start a brand new chapter!

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.
