Is it Thanksgiving? Is it Christmas? Am I tired? Am I hungry? Yes.

5 Feelings We All Have At This Point In The Semester
WTVR

At this point in the semester, there are some mutual feelings spreading around college campuses. While there are a couple good feelings, most are pretty unbearable, but here are five feelings that I guarantee every single college student is feeling right about now.

1) Dread.

With finals rapidly approaching, GPAs quickly dropping, and motivation flying out the window, no one wants to anticipate their final grade. There seems to be this overbearing sense of dread washing over every single student on campus, making those AM classes even harder to get up and out of bed for.

2) Sleeplessness.

Any successful student knows that getting enough sleep is key to performing well in school, but with all the cramming and studying and last-minute papers that need to be written before that 11:59 deadline, who has time for sleep? I mean, honestly? Everyone is moping around like zombies in need of brains, when in actuality, we just need a couple more "z's."

3) Laziness.

I don't think I've had the opportunity to properly work out in about a month, and it might be the cause of my current downfalls. But, with all the work and the meetings, who has time to actually take care of their bodies? Just chug an Emergen-C. Who needs endorphins anyway? You'll be alright.

4) Homesickness.

Now, I'm not necessarily homesick, but I do miss my King-sized bed and home-cooked meals. Thanksgiving is only a week away, so praise God for that, but it's also still a week away.

5) A Little Bit of Hope

With only three weeks of class left before finals, there is a lot of hope going around on campus. The fact that we've made it this far, brings many of us hope that we can surely make it to December 16, and out of this semester. We can survive, I promise! Now, buckle down, and finish strong, friends!

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.
