11 Things That Happened During Your First Week Of Classes

When going back to school in the fall, you're excited to move in, see your friends and go out. However, the first day of classes will come up fast and is a roller coaster of emotions.

You were too early for your first class.

Even being a sophomore and knowing where most buildings are, I still left too much time to get to classes and ended up sitting outside the rooms for at least 15 minutes.

You found a friend in one of your classes who you didn’t know was taking it.

You'll always have a partner and study buddy.

You listened to every teacher go though syllabi and the academic integrity policy.

Over and over and over.

You awkwardly waved hi to that person you barely know but was your best friend at the party last night.

Excuse me while I go crawl under a rock.

You put your first quiz in your calendar…for a Friday morning.

But you'll still go out the Thursday night before.

You had your first mental breakdown.

The first of many...

You’ve gone to the library just to kill time because you don’t have work yet.

So you try to find a seat where no one can see that you're on Facebook and Netflix.

You walked into the wrong classroom...while the class was going on.


Who doesn't love a whole class staring at you?

You walked past people you didn’t want to see on the way to class.

Now you'll have to find a new route around campus for the rest of the semester.

You’re already stressed about midterms and finals.

They come up quicker than you may think.

You’ve stopped trying to look cute by the second day.

You have the weekends to look good, anyway.

Your first week of classes will always be filled with ups and downs, but now it's over! On to the rest of the semester.

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.
