If you're in college, you know when April comes its a major struggle to finish the semester for so many reasons. From mean professors to the nice weather, everything just seems to be working against you doing well in your classes in April. The end of spring semester is so much tougher and if you don't realize it now you probably will when you get your final grades. These are just a few things that seem to make college in April so difficult for us college students.

Three exams, four quizzes, and three group projects

Professors like to save all of the tests, quizzes and projects for the end of the semester, making a college student's life similar to Hell in April. It feels almost like the work is never going to end.

You get practically no sleep

Due to all of the projects, tests and homework in April, sleep is not even an option some nights. Sometimes you just have to choose between getting an A in a class or sleeping that night.

Your professor decides the final is cumulative

Although they never said it before, the professor informs the class that the final is going to be cumulative, which means you are going to have to study for way longer than you had originally planned.

That professor that doesn't post grades finally does, and you realize you aren't doing as well as you thought.

This is the worst thing that could happen to a college student. Not knowing how you're doing in class is a really stressful thing for us. Besides, isn't it the professor's job to post our grades so we know how we are doing?

The weather is finally nice and you just want to stay outside

After a long, cold winter, it finally is starting to warm up making sitting in the library and studying all day almost impossible. Just looking outside the library windows makes you unmotivated.

April is a struggle for all college students, because the semester is coming to an end, and professors decide to put a lot of stress on students at this time. But don't worry, because the semester is almost over and summer is right around the corner.

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.
