Like many other college students, I hate studying. It's hard to concentrate on anything for an extended amount of time that isn't Netflix. However, as a college student, it's essentially our main job to study all of the things we've learned in class. Most of the time studying doesn't go exactly as planned. We get distracted and try to refocus, but we somehow find ourselves doing pretty much everything else but studying. While studying it's easy for our minds to wander to a million different places. Here are 30 thoughts students have while studying.

1. Okay, I have midterms coming up. I should get a head start and make flash cards.

2. Did we learn that?

3. I haven't checked my Twitter in a few hours, I should probably just do a quick look.

4. Oh, my best friend tweeted a link to their new Instagram picture, let me check it out.

5. Might as well look at everyone's Instagram.

6. Right, studying. I need to get back on track.

7. I have such ugly handwriting. Are there ways to practice that?

8. Did my phone go off?

9. No one texted me but since I'm on my phone might as well check Snapchat.

10. I should call my mom.

11. Back to studying.

12. This seems important I'll highlight this *highlights entire page*

13. I should take a study break soon.

14. I'm kind of hungry maybe I'll make some pasta.

15. Now that I ate, maybe I can get some work done.

16. I really liked that girl's outfit at the bar last night. Let me see if I can find it somewhere online.

17. Maybe for the midterm, it’ll be stuff I actually know so I don’t have to study as much.

18. I don’t want to over-study and forget all the information I studied.

19. Maybe I should turn my phone off or turn on do not disturb.

20. My professor gave us such short notice on this. Like why hasn’t he been reminding us?

21. Oh yeah, I forgot I have to look at the syllabus every week to remind myself.

22. I’m too tired for this.

23. A nap would be awesome right now, I should really take one. How am I supposed to study when I’m this tired?

24. Someone tagged me in a thing on Facebook, obviously I have to check it immediately. Might as well take a scroll through.

25. I just wanna check what shows are on Netflix right now. I want some ideas for what to watch tonight after I study. I only have 10 minutes left in Stranger Things might as well finish it up.

26. Wait am I following all of them on social media? I have to make sure I keep up with them. Since I’m on their page I might as well stalk.

27. I just realized three hours have passed and I haven’t even started studying.

28. Is that kid in my class? I should ask him if he’s even started to study.

29. Okay, now I’m gonna seriously study.

30. Oh my god is the library really closing already?

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.
