Throughout a normal college day, every kid, doesn't matter where they go, will experience some of the same things. Whether it be roommate problems or getting back that test grade, the feelings are the same.

1. Getting ready for bed and remembering the homework you never did.

This could possibly be the worst feeling. After a long day and you finally think that it's your time to be able to relax, you remember your chem lab is due tomorrow at 10 a.m. Your world seems to burst into flames.

2. Waking up for that dreaded 8 a.m.

You think it wont be that bad when you're scheduling, but when your alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m. it actually seems impossible to get up.

3. Calculating your grades and being surprised.

Normally, it's a bad surprise. You think you did pretty well on that test you studied last minute for, but realize that procrastination really is the devil. However, you decided not to hover over it and move on with your day.

4. Going to events where you have no idea what’s going on but it’s worth the extra credit points.

Even though you don't want to learn about the history of the earth or how rocks are made, you force yourself to go because this might be the only thing to save your grade.

5. The casual mental breakdown at least twice a week.

It happens to the best of us. �

6. Deciding to go out even though you have work to do.

It's a Thursday and you almost made it through the week without doing any bad things. But, I mean, it's close to the weekend, so that makes it OK, right?

7. Getting an exam and having no idea where to even begin.

You just stare blankly at the paper and definitely regret not staying the library longer than you did.

8. Waiting in line to get coffee, knowing you’re going to be late, but still continuing to wait.

This has got to be the most frustrating thing. You wake up extra early just to get Dunkin. You wait there for what seems like forever, and you realize you are still going to be late to class. By the time you notice this, it's almost your turn to order. You decide to take the deduction of points for being late and choose to get the coffee instead.

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.
