As Summer draws to an end there are a few habits we must drop in order to get back into our back-to-school routine. Unfortunately none of these habits are bad ones or ones we would necessarily like to drop. As sad as it is for me to type these truths, I figure we all may need to read them just in case we forgot what its like to be in the school routine. So, I would say enjoy but I am not too sure its possible to enjoy reading these!

1. Go to sleep before 2 AM.

2. Wake up before 12 pm. (If unsure of how to do this refer to number 1)

3. Prepare your brain to start thinking again.


4. Trade your bronzer and sunscreen for real clothes and book bags.

5. Say goodbye to afternoon naps.

6. Kiss your social life goodbye even though you just said hello to it back in May.

7. Remind yourself it is OK to cry once you see the course work on the syllabus.

8. Leave behind the thoughts of week long vacations and instead get ready for all nighters in the library.

9. Burn that ocean or pool front picture image into your brain so as your awful statistics teacher stands up and lectures in what seems like Chinese you can block it out and go back to paradise until you're called on to answer a question.

10. Buy school supplies instead of party supplies.

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.
