By now everyone is back in school, and settling back into their fall routine. Most students have experienced at least a week of school already, and we all know how the beginning of school goes.


1. "I'm going to do so well this year!"

Every school year begins with high expectations and hopes for the best.

2. "I will not procrastinate."

it is still early in the year and the work load isn't that much. Perfect time to start out with a good work ethic... right after on last episode.

3. "Why does time move in slow motion..."

I checked the time at 1:30 p.m., and 10 minutes later I checked it again, and it was 1:31 p.m. Each class feels like at least 5 hours long, each school day like 10 hours long (not including clubs) and the week goes on for the duration of a month.

4. "I will have good relationships with my teachers."

I will participate in class, turn in all work on time and maybe even have casual conversations with them.

5. "How does the teacher hate me already?"

It's only the first week and the teacher is already looking at me like I didn't turn in my homework! If I act extra good I can turn it around... or just live with it.

6. "Does sleep even exist?"

I lay in bed each night, blink and get up for school.

7. "How can people be this dumb?"

8. "How did everyone get so smart?"

School is the only place where you know everyone is losing their self confidence, yet you're still insecure. Everyone seems better at everything!

9. "This class is actually easy."

For once you are finally understanding (and even exceeding) everything that is happening in class.

10. This class is impossible!"

It's the first month of school, and I already don't know what's going on!

11."TGIF"

12. "Do weekends even exist?"

Weekends only seem to be an hour long, and there's only time enough to acknowledge there was a weekend. The weekdays must have stolen their time from the weekend.

13. "At least I have my friends."

How would anyone survive school without someone who complains about the same things as you?

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.
