Maybe I just want to sit down to eat and breathe.. But I don't have time.

An Open Letter To The Person With A Busy Week

Do you ever feel so stressed because of the week you are about to have? It's Sunday night and all you can think about it how you have three papers due Thursday, work both jobs every day, a presentation that is worth half your grade on Friday, a staff meeting on Saturday, and a pile of laundry as tall as the chair you keep it on.

If that is you, I have some advice on how to make it through your hell week.

1. First, remember to take one day at a time.

This is something my mom and grandparents have always told me. There is no need to get yourself worked up about the entire week, prepare for one day at a time.

2. If you need to, set an alarm to remember to eat.

A headache, stomach pain, and mood will not help you at all when you don't eat, fit it into your day!

3. Make a daily list of "to-dos".

This will help you keep things straight and be able to prioritize. Also, you will get the satisfaction of checking things off your list!

4. Be sure to carry around a water bottle.

Keeping hydrated throughout the day will help with brain activity and hunger if you have little time for a meal.

5. Right before you go to bed, make sure your bag is packed for the next day with everything you will need

Also, wash your face, drink a glass of water, and go straight to bed. This will keep your body and mind fresh while also helping you sleep.

6. While traveling to your other job, to school, or back home, call your mom, grandma, or brother.

Fit in some chat time to stay socially involved, while also still going through the motions of your day.

Remember to take a day for yourself after your long busy week to recuperate and relax. After all, trust me, you deserve it!

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.
