6 Things You Know  To Be True When You're Always Busy
Rebekah Meekins

Busy is defined in a dictionary as "having a great deal to do" or "keeping occupied". Whether you're preparing for exams as a student or up for review at work, chances are you've had at least one week where you barely even had time to breathe.

1. You depend on your planner more than anything.

Even if you're not the type to carry an agenda with you everyday, you have a schedule written down somewhere with the thousands of things you have to do.

2. You mentally plan your schedule the night before to ensure you have time to do everything.

"If I get up at 7 a.m, I'll have 10 minutes to eat lunch tomorrow and still finish everything by 11 p.m."

3. You survive every day by drinking coffee, soda or Red bull. Sometimes all three.

There is no way to get through your busy day with energy UNLESS you have access to caffeine.

4. Stress is a normal emotion for you.

The absence of stress is the first indicator that you've forgotten something, which causes you to begin to stress all over again.

5. Tired has become a permanent state of being for you.

The fact that you've only had four hours of sleep no longer fazes you. At this point... it's normal.

6. The extra stress makes relaxation so much better.

The more stressed you are, the better you are able to relax when all your work is done.

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.
