11 Thoughts College Students Have Returning From Break

Being back at school can be a bittersweet feeling. You get to see all your friends again, but you also have classes and homework after being off for a month. It can be hard to readjust after being gone for that long, and I can think of no people better to explain the feelings of being back than the cast of my current Netflix guilty pleasure: "Gossip Girl."

1. Remembering you have a 7:45 a.m. class.

You have a 7:45 a.m. class, and now you have to try to accept it or at least act like you've accepted it.

2. Figuring out what to wear.

That first week back, you put your best effort in, making sure you look fierce before you break out the sweatpants and hoodies.

3. Meeting new people.

The usual first day ice-breakers—tell the class your name, your major, and one "fun fact" about you.

4. Finding the perfect unassigned assigned seat.

You pick a seat on the first day, and you stay there. Don't take someone's seat, it's just an unspoken rule.

5. What is all this chapter one nonsense?

I thought the first day was all syllabus—what's this chapter one on the first day?

6. I hope my professors aren't crazy this semester.

There is only room for one crazy person on campus, and you've found her.

7. More Netflix and chill.

And by Netflix and chill, I mean Netflix and pizza with friends. The more pizza the better.

8. Return of the bikers.

Be sure to check your blind spot before walking across the sidewalk, or you will be taken out by a bike. I've seen it happen.

9. Is this week over yet?

The first week always seems so long, but the weekend is coming.

10. Best friends together again.

When you've been away from your friends for a month, there are a lot of secrets that you have to share. Some that you may want to stay secrets.

11. The weekend.

You did it—you made it to the weekend. Now it's time to let loose, and let out your inner Regina.

It's going to be a long semester, so buckle down and get ready. It's going to be interesting.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.
