10 Stages of Taking A Summer Class
Shelby Hoffmann

Oh, summer classes. The lovely short-session courses that take place in the summer months and are supposedly more easy than regular session classes because "You just can't fit all that material into that short of a time." You're either here because you're trying to get ahead, struggling to graduate on time, or you failed the class the first time around and you're re-taking it for a higher grade. For whatever reason, you've resigned yourself to taking classes when you should be laying on the beach or sleeping until noon every day. There are a few feelings summer classes bring forth that are common to everyone stuck in a cold, windowless classroom on a beautiful sunny-and-75 degree day.

1. Looking at your plan of study and realizing you may have to take classes outside of spring and fall, and hating yourself for it.

Why, college? Why?

2. Seeing all your friends go on fun adventures without you.

It's fine, I'll just sit here and work on my five million homework assignments and readings to do.

3. Allowing the course's content to completely take over your life.

It kinda just happens when you sign up for summer classes, you just don't know it.

4. Thinking about what you could be doing instead of sitting in class.

Like being at the pool, lake or sleeping.

5. Taking your first test, and not doing as well as you thought you would, because it's kind of hard to pack that much information into such a small time period.

Well, college.

6. Wanting to kill everyone who told you it would be easy or that they loved summer classes.

It isn't easy, at all.

7. Barely having time for yourself because of the assignments that are due.

Barely having time to do anything besides school for that matter.

8. Your classes determine your summer social life.

Which isn't one when you sign your soul to the devil of summer classes

9. Chances are, you are always exhausted.

Because you are running around a million miles per hour like a chicken with its head cut off.

10. Passing the class at the end of the semester, and feeling like a champ.

Congrats, you finally did it

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.
