It's just a continuous, miserable process.

5 Phases Of Walking To Class In The Heat

Yes, summer weather is great, until you have to walk to class in it. Honestly, the whole entire process is miserable and I don’t know if it’s just me, but I count the minutes until I know it’s going be over.

1. Stepping out of the car.

The heat hits you in the face like your being smothered by a blanket and being buried alive all at once. It is an awful feeling and you start sweating immediately before you even start walking.


2. The walk begins.

Here we go. You start up the long dreaded hill. Beads of sweat start to form on your lower back and eyebrows. It hasn’t even been a minute and half of your makeup is already off.

3. Reaching the top.

You feel by now that you’ve ran a marathon for how disgusting you really feel. Although you see your intended building in sight, it stills seems truly unbearable. The worst part is that there is no wind at all to cool you off, not even a slight breeze. It didn’t seem possible to feel even grosser than you already did, but you continue to tell yourself you still look good.


4. Almost there...

You pick up the speed just because you want to get to the air conditioning as fast as possible, but this in turn just makes you hotter than you already are. You tell yourself it's almost the end of the slow, painful death.

5. Finally at your class.

At last you’ve reached the building and the air hits you as you swing open the door. If only you could cool off instantly. Sitting down immediately just makes it worse because as soon as your thighs hit the chair the are instantly glued to them from all the sweat.

This is a daily process until the winter hits and then it will suck even more to walk in the horrendous snow freezing onto your face. Either way, remember you always look fabulous (even if you really don’t).

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.
