When you enter college, it is inevitable that you will get sick throughout the years that you spend there. Thus, it's necessary that you take the required precautions to allow yourself to get healthy so you have the ability to be your full self while attending classes, hanging out with friends, or just being on your own. These five steps will allow you to recover to be your old, healthy self!

1. Stop denying that you are sick.

Stop denying that there is something is wrong with you and admit that you need medical attention. The faster you admit that you are sick, the faster you will be being healthy again.

2. Rest a lot.

It is super hard to take a day off from college from the workload and insane studying you have to do, but it is necessary that you rest so your body has the ability to recover and allow yourself to get healthy again.

3. Visit Your School's Health Center

Go to your school's health center, understand what type of illness you have, and learn which medications would be necessary to get healthy as soon as possible.

4. Find friends who will take care of you (but also make fun of you).

Find the friends who will make you coffee or tea when you're in bed feeling terrible or bring you food when you feel miserable. At the same time, they should also constantly make fun of you so you could have some laughs even while feeling down.

5. Learn the ways to prevent being sick again.

Try to figure out why you got sick and understand how you can prevent getting sick again.

Getting sick in college is one of the worst situations any college student would go through, but once you figure out the right ways to go about your sickness, you will be healthy in no time!

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.
