If you're a college student, there are only two words that are guaranteed to immediately send chills down your spine: class registration. This is the most stressful part of the semester because you're trying to figure out which classes to take, how many credits you need, or even worse, what you want to do with your future. Here are a few gifs that perfectly describe the entire process if you're not familiar with how much stress and time goes into it.

1. You finally decide to check your school's portal and you realize that registration is only one week away, and you haven't done anything to prepare

2. So you immediately set a bunch of hours aside to research all the classes you still need to take

3. Everything is looking fine until one of your major requirements is an early class

4. Once you take a look at all the classes in your shopping cart, you just have to accept that you won't have a social life next semester

5. But when you meet with your advisor, they remind you to add backups to your top picks, so you have to back to the drawing board and pick more classes

6. You're so focused on trying to get the perfect schedule that you don't have time for distractions, not even talking to your parents

7. You start to become more irritated once all your friends are talking about how their registration times are earlier than yours

8. The night before registration you're basically preparing for the worst and expecting to not get any of your top choice classes

9. It's the day of registration and you could not be any more nervous or anxious just to get your schedule 

10. When it's finally your turn to register, you see one of your top choices is already full 

11. So now you have to accept that you're going to take some courses that you're mildly interested in

12. Once you press the "enroll in courses" button, you see your schedule pop up and you feel like it's not real life

13. But after looking at your schedule you suddenly realize that it's actually not as bad as you thought it'd be and that you got some of your top choice classes

14. So now you're just chilling for the rest of the semester

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.
