With the fall semester approaching, Summer'16 has just about come to an end. This week entails the lasts of summer which means attending the last parties, meeting up with friends from home, finally the last week of work,and the last of just about everything before your mind is clouded with the loads of work receive syllabus week. While its unfortunate that school is starting, nothing is more exciting than finally having the freedom you're used to. Sure parties will be replaced with classes and all-nighters Netflix binging will turn into all-nighters of doing papers but its worth it right? Here are 4 signs you're beyond ready for fall semester.

You've already packed all your clothes


Some might say you're super organized you're just saying you're ready to get out of your house, packing is the most gruesome task of going back to school. You either over pack or under pack and you're never sure what to bring, my answer: bring everything. All of your clothes are packed into little suitcases, the mini fridge is unplugged and everything is at the door waiting to be situated into the car on Sunday. If it was up to you they'd already be packed in the car, anything to get you to back to school as fast as possible.

You have a countdown

When summer started we all had this internal clock that would remind you "oh it's June, schools in three months" but as soon as August hit the count down was more of a 20 days, 15 days, and now you sit at home in your room with a countdown on your phone that says "fall '16 in four days 10 hours and 42 seconds". Its not like you're counting down until classes, you're counting down to your roommate, friends, parties and all of the college things that don't actually include classes.

You went shopping for school supplies

As a college student back to school shopping isn't as fun as it was in high school, back then you'd get all the cool notebooks and pens to show off for the new semester. I used to buy gel pens every semester and color coordinate my notebooks with my folders and get a new bag every year. Now it's all about books for your major and money you throw to the bookstore or Cheggs. That hasn't stopped you, you already have all your textbooks for the semester in tow as well as all the studying apps and flash cards you're going to need this semester.

You made plans for the upcoming semester before it even started


You've already texted your friends and decided when you're going out to party, whose going to the homecoming events, if you're planning on joining any clubs this year and so on so forth, you just can't wait for the semester to begin so you can get back to being in the full swing of things again.

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.
