Being Sick Is No Fun. At All.

Being sick, especially in college, can make for a lot of stress and issues.

Currently, I am burning up yet I feel so cold that I have on two pairs of leggings, a long sleeve shirt, a hoodie, my comforter, and then a heated blanket to top it all off. Not to get too personal or gross, but I've thrown up anything that I have tried to eat these past two days and I have a killer headache that feels as though someone keeps slamming it in a car door. unfortunately for me, I am in college and when you're in college not going to class can very quickly screw you over. I should know considering that's exactly what I did my first semester Freshman year and it didn't end well at all... Not to mention, you have all of your obligations outside of class that demand your undivided attention regardless of the fact that just looking at this screen right now burns your eyes. "Suck it up." they say. Okay, I did.

So me going to class is now above the health of not only myself but the people unfortunate enough to be stuck in class with me and exposed to whatever it is I have. Oh please, don't be the flu. I've already dealt with that once this year and I can't do it AGAIN. But that's life for you. People will always be quick to point out what you didn't do or forgot to do but totally disregard the fact that you have yet to miss a class yet or the fact that you have things going on in your personal life that other people would never make it through.

Don't be so quick to assume that you know what someone's going through because chances are you've only glimpsed the surface if even that. Give people the benefit of the doubt and doubt so harsh. You never really know what someone might be going through...

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
