13 Signs You Are Stuck In A Junior Year Rut

1. You're suffering from pre-senioritis.

Your condition hasn't fully reached senioritis yet, but you're on your way.


2. You've decided your major, but that doesn't make registration any easier.

Registration day is still a nightmare, except now you are more of a panicked monster when the research methods class you NEED to take is full.


3. Because you are a junior now, the class levels are rising and that only means one thing ...

Classes are harder and require more attention, attendance, and thinking power.


4. You find any reason possible to NOT go to class.

It's raining outside? Not going to class. It's sunny outside? Not going to class.


5. All of your friends are getting busy with internships.

And you're over here just trying to manage 15 credit hours, work, and friends.


6. Most of your friends are doing something really cool, like studying abroad.

If I can barely make it to class in my home state, how on Earth would I make it to class in Italy?


7. Half of your friends are 20, half of them are 21.

That awkward moment when your 21-year-old friends leave to go to the bar, and you're stuck watching Narcos on Netflix.


8. You've stopped caring about what you look like in class.

This isn't freshman year anymore. Sweatpants and Nikes will do.


9. Your bank account is no where near where you thought it would be at 20-21.

When I was 10 years old, I thought 21-year-olds were grown ups that had like $10,000 in their bank accounts. Unfortunately, this is not the case.


10. Group projects will be the death of you.

Do professors realize how hard coordinating with six different schedules can be?


11. You appreciate any nap time you can afford.

Times aren't like they used to be.


12. You're feeling sad because a lot of your friends are graduating this year.

They're moving on to the other side.


13. You're slowly realizing that your college years are coming to a close.

Yes, this means you are almost ready for the real world. Enjoy your time while it lasts.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
