After the holidays it's always hard to get back on track even though you have a million different things that need to get done. Here's some ways to get your brain back into work mode after the holiday break:

1. Make Lists

This will help you figure out what still needs to get done and when you should do these things. It'll help with time management and it'll break down each item that you need to get done.

2. Listen To Some Killer Music

Make yourself a bomb playlist, that way you can get things done with some motivation. Make a playlist as long as you want to study for so it'll keep you motivated.

3. Stop Watching Hours And Hours Of Netflix

You've had all break to do this, although it's very hard not to, it will only make your tasks harder to finish. So take a break from watching Netflix or TV and get working.

4. Isolate Yourself

Being with family and your siblings all break long has exhausted the most of us, try doing some work by yourself and see how much you can get done.

5. Head To The Library

This will force you to get your work done. I personally hate the library, but it does help me get my work done and then I can say that I don't have much left to do because I've already done most of it in the library.

6. Reward Yourself

After doing some work or most of it reward yourself by taking a quick nap and eating leftovers because you need all the motivation you can get to finish out the semester.

7. Time Is Running Out

You've had all week to do this homework assignment or paper, you can get it done and you can do well on it if you put in the work. Most of your work will be due within the week or professors will already think you've done your work and add more homework so the more you get done during the weekend the more you can do other things.

8. Realize That There Are Only Three Weeks Left Until Winter Break

You have only three weeks till Winter break, that means only three more weeks of suffering and slaving over homework, and only three more weeks dealing with your roommates and the cafeteria. You can do it!

Hopefully all of these will help when it comes to focusing on school-work again! If you haven't tried these tricks, you should, because they definitely help me.

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.
