15 Stages Of Heading Back To School, As Told By "Sherlock"

It's that time of year again, when college students around the country all start to pack up and prep for the coming semester! I, for one, have been feeling all of the feels recently; sadness to be saying goodbye to my family and friends in MA, simultaneous excitement and anxiety, general shock that it's already mid-August, etc. How better to illustrate this complex emotional time than with Benedict Cumberbatch's mesmerizing and amazingly malleable face (those cheekbones, though)?! Yes, I have a mildly unhealthy obsession and no, I'm not ashamed.

1. Wait what? I don’t even understand… How is summer over already?

2. Wait, this is good. This is very good. Freedom will once again be MIIIINNNNEEE!!! 

3. It’s time to turn up, y’all. 

4. Maybe I’ll even change the status of my non-existent sex life.

5. I’ve missed everyone so freaking much!!!

6. But school = classes = homework… Damn it!

 

7. My brain is so rusty! Making the painfully difficult and complex decision of what show to binge on counts as intellectual activity, right? Meh, I feel so inadequate.

8. I’m in need of some divine intervention. Dear God, please let me remember how to write an essay.

9. Forget about 9 a.m. classes. I haven’t woken up earlier than 10 a.m. in weeks. 

10. And I’m actually going to have to dress in a quasi-appropriate manner on a regular basis now. 

11. No more free laundry… Or home cooked meals…

12. Well then. This is going to be perfectly lovely (*attempted sarcasm*)!

 

13. Deep breaths, deep breaths. Time to simmer down and relax…

14. You know what? I’m totally overthinking! I’ve done this before, I (mostly) survived and I can manage it again. Everything is gonna be okay.

15. Bow down, world. Here I come.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
