Ah, college. A time of having fun, going out with friends, being independent, and most importantly, going to class. While some classes are definitely easier and better suited to us, we have all experienced that one class that makes us want to quit college altogether and be a hobo for the rest of our lives. So whether you love your classes or not, here are a few things that all college students have either done or thought about while sitting in a college class.

1. You constantly look at the clock.

Five more minutes until 30 minutes until class is over.

2. Your mind starts to wander.

This is especially true if your professor has a monotone voice.

3. You wish you were somewhere else.

I'm looking at you, Chemistry.

4. You remember you don't know anyone in your class.

At least I get to focus on what I'm learning... right?

5. You congratulate yourself when you answer questions correctly.

And you didn't even have to use Google.

6. You shame yourself when you answer questions incorrectly.

At least you tried.

7. You debate whether you'll actually use this information in real life.

I don't know how to pay my taxes, but at least I know how to make an orbital diagram!

8. You get annoyed by the person who thinks they know more than the professor.

Just stop.

9. You question why you're even at college.

I'm just here for the perks, tbh. Wait, what are the perks again?

10. You know you're failing this class but you try to stay positive.

It happens to everyone.

11. You actually pay attention and understand the information.

And you feel so good about yourself. At least until class is over.

12. Your crippling fear of failure sets in.

What if I fail this test? This class? This semester? This school year? This life??

13. You realize everything will be okay because you'll be a real adult soon.

Then nobody can boss you around or make you do stuff!

14. You then realize you don't know how to be a real adult.

Where is my mom when I need her??

15. You cry silently and hope no one sees.

Remember to bring tissues to class, y'all. It's rough out there.

16. You pretend you didn't just have an emotional breakdown.

All good, guys!

17. You plan to treat yourself when you get home.

Ice cream, movies, cookies, crying yourself to sleep, the whole shebang!

18. You remember tomorrow is another day and that you're doing the best you can.

Sometimes you just have to put aside your worries and realize that you're human. College isn't the end of the world. Better days are headed your way, my friends! And when you look back on your college years, you'll realize that your time at school was legen--wait for it--dary!

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.
