School is back in session for everyone and people are feeling it; especially us college students. The homework is back, and relentless, the sleep is minimal, the cafeteria food isn't good, the dorms are loud and the college life is hitting us hard. Here's a few thoughts every college student has the first month back at college.


1. "Syllabus week was the easiest week of the whole year."

This is the week you don't really have much homework to do, but just wait.

2. "I forgot how much homework I had last semester."

So many papers, essays, and readings.

3. "Do I really have to go to class?"

The answer is yes, yes you do have to go to class.

4. "UGGGGH."

I think this GIF sums it up.

5. "Remember, you're doing this for your future. It's worth it, just keep going."

The time you spend now will help determine the rest of your life.

6. "I'm really sick of cafeteria food and it's only been two weeks."

You can only default to pizza or a burger so many times.

7. "So. Many. Exams."

As stated above, "uggghhh."

8. "My dorm is already messy."

Clothes and homework is everywhere. Also, I should probably take out the trash and recycling soon.

9. "I need to do laundry."

Like really bad.

10. "I really need to get more food for my dorm."

Ramen, granola bars, drinks, fruit snacks, all of the above.

11. "Patiently waiting for a care package from mom and dad."

*hint hint*

12. "What is sleep?"

I need sleep.

13. "I need life to slow down a little."

Just move in slow motion.

14. "Is this assignment really that important?"

Is it really?

15. "I can't skip class, I'm paying like $50 per class period."

You're really gonna waste $50?

16. "Help me."

Please.

17. "Stop watching Netflix, and study."

OK maybe just one more episode.

18. "I miss home."

I miss my own bed, and the food, and everything about home.

19. "A nap later this afternoon is the only thing getting me through this class."

I'm gonna sleep like a baby.

20. "It's only the first month of class, it's only gonna get worse."

And maybe cry like this baby.

21. "But, I'll get back in the groove of things soon...I hope."

I really hope.

22. "Fall break is only a month away!"

Hallelujah!!

23. "As much as college stresses me out, I kinda missed it."

I really did miss it, but just a little and only certain aspects.

Whether you missed it more than I did, or dreaded coming back this fall, there's something you missed about it. And I'm sure several of these thoughts have gone through your head at some point during the past couple weeks. Go to class, do the homework and get some sleep folks.

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.
