If you are surrounded by students typing busily on their laptops or reading overly highlighted passages in textbooks while sipping their second iced coffee of the day, then chances are you are probably sitting in Carrier or ECL on a Sunday afternoon. On any typical Sunday there is sure to be no seat left unaccompanied by college students working on different tasks. We are all challenging ourselves daily to learn new things and become the best at what we are studying. All majors are different in multiple aspects, but there are also many similarities that all majors share.

We all have hell weeks.

They are inevitable. We all deal with them at one point in the semester, sometimes more than once. The fact of the matter is that we cannot run from them no matter how hard we try.

Internships are difficult to find in almost every field.

Searching for internships is easy. It's landing an interview and making yourself stand out among thousands of other college students across the country that is the hard part. No one student in one field is along in this situation. We all feel the same stress and anxiety as the next person when it comes to trying to gain real world experience.

Every major is heavily dependent on some sort of task.

Every field has something it is dependent on. Journalists are constantly writing, science based majors are heavily reliant on reading to learn the material, and art majors are constantly trying to get their creative juices flowing to become the next Picasso. Every field has that one skill that sometimes gets tiresome, but is essential to being successful.

We all have had one professor that makes a class challenging.

We have all been there. It is an experience that helps us learn to navigate through school, just like we will have to navigate through challenging situations in the professional world one day.

But we have also all had that one that makes class enjoyable.

Then there is that one professor you absolutely loved and has inspired you in so many ways. He or she made you remember why you chose the field of study that you did, and how important it is for you to do all that you can to be successful at it.

We are trying to be successful.

Even though we are all studying different things, we came to college to do well in a field that we are passionate about.

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.
