5 Hacks For A Successful Semester
College

College is great. Except for when your schedule falls apart, you miss assignment dates, and your friends haven't seen you in weeks. Here are 5 hacks that will help you keep your life together this semester!

1. Have a wall calendar

Hanging a dry erase calendar on the wall where you can see it everyday before you leave will help prevent the awkward "I forgot we had a test today" situation. The only catch is, you have to keep it updated month by month!

2. Supplement with a planner

Having a planner to write down key dates and assignments will help supplement your wall calendar. Get one you'll want to update and look at, like this coloring one!

3. Have a steady wake-up routine

Having a steady time to wake up, and a plan each morning for what to do will help keep you on track. College is a busy time, so having to plan out a time to take a shower and do your hair definitely isn't "extra."

4. Get 3 solid meals a day

Taking time out of your day, everyday, to eat is a necessity. make sure your body is consistently fueled with good, nutritious foods to keep you powered through those 12-hour days.

5. Take a break every once in awhile

Working hard is important, but it's also important not to over work yourself. Take a break every once in awhile and recharge.

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.
