Being a sophomore in college is actually the most painful year of your life. After your easy breezy freshman year on campus life tends to hit you like a ton of bricks as a sophomore. Apparently, there is this thing called the sophomore slump and it's the most truthful thing I've ever researched, I admit it I admit it I am currently a prisoner to the slump.

Sophomore year means you're no longer a silly freshman which leads to you gaining this ridiculous amount of confidence that ultimately leads you to the slump. Being a sophomore means you have just about had it with school work, you are tired all day every day and you let school hit the backburner.

As a sophomore, you probably consider dropping out of school way too often and your weekends out are what you live for. There are levels to this sh*t, being in the sophomore slump could possibly be our cause of death.

1. Yea the school work is going to have to stop.

Brain capacity is low and can no longer handle the stress of homework.

2. "Let's go out every night this week."

Being reckless is a tell tale sign that you are now consumed by the sophomore slump.

3.*Calls mom to discuss dropping out*

This conversation happens almost every day.

4. Failing tests left and right.


C's get degrees has become your new life motto for sure.

5. "Oh, that was due today?"

Being forgetful is key in the sophomore slump, if you don't forget to hand in a paper at least 3 times a week you are definitely not made for the slump lifestyle.

6. *Needs drink after attempting to study for 5 minutes*

Studying is physically impossible while being a sophomore and it requires a drink after every word that is read.

7. "I literally just don't care."

The 'I don't care' phrase crosses your path just about every 5 minutes.

8. Skips class as much as possible

Going to class is for the weak.

9. *Spends money like its going out of style*

Being in the sophomore slump means you are willing to waste money on stupid things and you probably have started eating out for every meal.

10. Middle child Syndrom sets in

If you have never been the middle child in your family just become a sophomore in college the effects are exactly the same!

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.
