10 Things Every College Student Needs To Hear Today

1. You are doing great.

There are so many people in the world who never even made it to college. Now look at you being an overachiever!

2. Your homework will get done if you take it one step at a time.

Yes, our professors seem to think we have no other classes or activities going on in our lives, but all of it will get done as long as you buckle down when you need to and take it one assignment at a time. Setting mini-goals is proven to be a really helpful study tool!

3. You will succeed in life no matter what you’re getting in that biology class.3.

Okay sure, Biology isn’t exactly going as planned, but it does not define you. Just because you’re not the best at it doesn't mean everything else that you try during the rest of your life will go the exact same way.

4. Everyone feels FOMO sometimes, and it is OK to miss things.

Yeah, it might suck staying in on that Friday or Saturday night, but you don’t need to go out every time. Obviously, yes, you should go and have fun whenever you can, but if you have a big exam on Monday, you will be thanking yourself later.

5. Sleep is directly correlated with a higher GPA.

It is a proven fact that a well-rested student does better than one who stayed up too late the night before cramming. We’re all guilty of procrastination, but if you follow the facts, there’s really no question that studying ahead of time is the way to go.

6. You are doing your best.

And that’s all anyone could ever ask of you.

7. You have so many people cheering you on.

Everyone loves you and wants to see you succeed! A few bad days doesn’t mean it’s a bad life.

8. Nobody can beat you at college but yourself.

It’s all up to you how far you go.

9. You can achieve anything if you put enough time into it.

Now I know this sounds like a cliché, but it’s a famous quote for a reason. (It’s true.)

10. Lean on your friends when you need them; they’re the only ones who understand every exact thing you’re going through at this moment.

This is one of the main reasons your college friends are some of the best people you’ll meet in your entire life—they love you unconditionally and give the best support.

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.
