8 AMs - The Dreaded And Continual Saga

For those of you who have experienced 8 a.m. classes, or getting up at the butt crack of dawn, I am so sorry for your loss—of sleep. The constant struggle is debating whether or not you should get up and look like a human or if you should continue your streak of looking like a scrub. This debate happens every night while deciding what time to set your alarm and continues every morning when deciding how many times you can snooze your alarm before you have to literally roll out of your bed and sprint to class.

For those of you who struggle through this battle, read this list and see if you’re picking up what I’m throwing down.

1. Night before: I am going to get up at 6:30 and shower and make myself look so good for class.

2. *6:30 alarm goes off.*

3. *6:45 alarm goes off.*

4. *7:00 alarm goes off.*

5. See on a good day, I would get up and proceed to get ready to leave by 7:45.

6. But on most other days… *7:15 alarm goes off.*

7. "I’ll just snooze it one more time."

8. "I love my mattress."

9. "I love my comforter."

10. "I love everything about life right now."

11. *7:30 alarm goes off.*

12. "Okay I am going to be real late for class if I don’t get up right now."

13. *Proceeds to climb down ladder without falling, yes I know it is beyond me how I do it.*

14. *Looks at self in the mirror.*

15. *Begins wishing I wouldn’t have looked at self in the mirror.*

16. *Starts throwing anything on my face that can help it look like a normal face.*

17. *Seriously debates whether or not to wear slippers to class, and then realizes I don’t need that judgement in my life.*

18. *Decides to wear leggings… again.*

19. *Makes coffee as fast as humanly possible.*

20. *Packs backpack because why would I do that they night before?*

21. *Finally, leaves for class, sprinting to make it on 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.
