10 Reasons Moving Out Is Really Stressful

10 Reasons Moving Out Is Really Stressful
http://www.nbc.com/parks-and-recreation

Moving out is hands down one of the most stressful and frustrating things you can go through as an adult. But moving out when you're a college student who is a barely functioning adult. Around this time of the year, the college student dreads two things more than anything: moving out and finals.

1. First of all, finding a place is hard enough.

Finding a place that all your roommates can agree on is close to impossible.

2. Automatically knowing and accepting the fact that you are going to lose things.

But we all know tears will be shed.

3. Finding furniture and/or someone to help move furniture is impossible.

I'll just use pillows for a bed, no big deal, it's fine.

4. Organizing. Organizing everything.

I can barely organize my desk, there is no way I can organize these boxes.

5. Why is moving out so expensive?

The cost of a moving van, gas, boxes and not to mention your new home.

6. Trying to fit everything into your car is a more dangerous version of tetris.

Packing 16 boxes in a corolla is not really ideal.

7. Knowing that there's a good chance that your plates, glasses and bowls will break.

Which in turn is going to cause me to eat cereal out of my hands.

8. Moving out just so happens to be conveniently placed during finals week.

Because studying for the most important week in your existence isn't stressful enough.

9. Realizing that you have to move all of the things you just packed into a new place.

And if you don't live on the first floor, you are basically screwed.

10. The worst of it all is when you realize you have to unpack everything.

The fact that you had to pack everything and then have to unpack is a real life hell.

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.
