1. Okay, I have homework to do, so sitting alone in the dining hall isn't going to be so bad.

2. And I'm walking and getting enough food for five people, it's fine.

3. Yes, I know I have headphones in but, I swear, everyone is judging me.

4. Oh, there go some of my sisters, don't invite me to join you at lunch, that's cool.

5. Wow, I'm so tired, time to get more coffee, not like I've already consumed an entire gallon or anything.

6. This paper is so far from being done, it's not even funny.

7. I'm dropping out of school; I don't need this stress.

8. I look like an idiot, I cannot even sit on my own. I'm way too awkward for this.

9. Maybe if I stopped mumbling under my breath, people would stop staring.

10. Someone send help. I'm still hungry but do not want to get up and get more food.

11. Oh, and the second lunch rush, this is great, more people to judge me.

12. I still have an hour before class starts, so it is definitely not worth walking back to my room.

13. I guess I'll just sit here for another forever and hope my self-consciousness goes away.

14. How to people do this, sit alone and actually enjoy it?

15. They must be crazy, because obviously I am not cut out for this life.

16. It also probably doesn't help that I chose a table big enough for like, six people for little ol' me.

17. Maybe I should just grow up and stop worrying what everyone else is thinking, that seems like a good idea.

18. Ya know, if I wasn't so worried about people judging me, I could enjoy this.

19. It's actually kind of calming, getting lost in the music and not worrying about anything else.

20. Total focus on the music and the assignment, that will get me though this.

21. Another cup of coffee gone and I still haven't finished my homework. Oh.

22. People do some weird things while waiting for food. I'm pretty sure that man just did a pushup against the wall. Okay, sir.

23. Okay, half a page down. Only five more to go. You can do this.

24. My computer is dying. Great.

25. I think I only know like ten people in this entire dinging hall.

26. I mean, I know people have different class schedules but I feel like I know more than ten people on the entire campus.

27. Maybe I'll just look around to see if I know anyone else.

28. Nope, bad idea, time to focus.

29. Okay, this isn't working. I'm getting nothing done.

30. I stil have 45 minutes until class? How is that possible. I thought at least 30 minutes had gone by.

31. Maybe I'll just pack up my stuff and pretend like I have somewhere to be and go sit in my room for 20 minutes.

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.
