The college process is incredibly stressful and tedious. When it's all finally over though, it all seems to work out and the college everyone ends up going to just seems like it was meant to be. If you are already in college, though, you are one of the lucky ones who have begun to do these things:

1. Forgetting homework is no big deal now.

2. You suddenly lose all motivation to do any more than the bare minimum.

3. You frequently make excuses for yourself by saying, "I'm in college, who cares?"

4. You try to weasel out of your responsibilities by trying to get your parents to do something for by reminding them that "I got into college!"

5. You finally come clean to your parents about some of the things you never actually did or studied for, that happened to work out.

6. You order every piece of apparel and accessory off of your accepted college's website.

7. And then you flaunt your new look everywhere you go.

8. You struggle to reign it in at times, because you know that other people are still in the thick of the college process.

9. But sometimes, you can't help but just jam out to the fight song when you are home alone.

10. You join the accepted students Facebook group, and you are instantly overwhelmed by all of the posts and friend requests.

11. You begin stressing out about rooming and classes, even though that's so far in the future.

12. When post your Facebook status of "X College Class of 2021" you feel like a celebrity.

13. You think back at the time before you knew where you were going as the dark days.

14. When you see someone wearing your college's apparel you get so excited and ask them if they are going there.

15. When people ask why you picked this college you could spend hours going over everything that made you fall in love.

16. Even though it's been a few weeks, you still are sometimes in awe of how lucky and excited you are for this opportunity.

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.
