10 Things Everyone Thinks During The First Week of Class
Sharpschool

The first week of classes comes with a wide array of emotions. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, and some of them are in between. While nobody has quite the same experiences and thoughts, there some that are some that are universal.

1. "Yay school!"

The first day of school is always exciting, even if you don't really like school.

2. "I'm going to get so organized this year."

This is going to be my year. I'm going to actually use my planner and color code everything, it's going to be so great.

3. "Why are books so expensive?"

I'm not made of money and tuition already broke me.

4. "Wow this is a lot of work"

Looking at the syllabus can often incite panic when you realize just HOW MUCH you have to do this year.

5. "How am I going to do all of this"

There's no way I'll have time for all of this around my work schedule and my other classes and OH MY GOD I'M NOT OKAY

6. "I need a nap"

The only real way to handle problems is to take a nap, right?

7. "It's going to be a long semester"

This semester is going to take forever and there's no way I will survive

8. "What do you mean I have homework?"

How come I have homework on the first day of school??? What is this??

9. "I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this"

There's no way that I can make all of this work. I overbooked myself.

10. "I got this"

Confidence is key, even if you're faking it. Just be confident and somehow it will work.

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.
