As the days get shorter, so does my attention span and my motivation to finish my work.

Fall Break is over, Halloween just passed and I can practically taste my moms stuffing. The end of the semester is so close, but we have a lot of work left before we can mentally check out. With another seven weeks of classes left, it's hard to keep myself going.

All I want to do is curl up in a blanket with some hot chocolate and binge watch the second season of "Stranger Things" and be an unproductive member of society. Unfortunately, college is hard and there is a mountain of work waiting to be completed. You've worked hard all semester, don't let your GPA tank now. Here are some inspirational quotes to keep you going!

1. "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." - Dr. Seuss

2. "It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously, that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case you fail by default." - J.K. Rowling

3. "Always find time to do the things that make you feel happy to be alive." - Unknown

4. "Believe you can and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt

5. "Keep calm and make coffee." - Anonymous

6. "I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it." - Art Williams

7. "Everyday is a new beginning, take a deep breath and start again." - Unknown

8. "I'm telling you, hitting bottom is a good thing. Because there's no where to go but up." - 'Bridesmaids' (2011)

9. "The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases." - Carl Jung

10. "You will never have this day again so make it count." - Unknown

Good luck with the last few weeks of classes. Y'all got this, just take everything a day at a time.

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.

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.
