Stop making excuses.

College Is Not That Hard
cdn.theawl.com

Okay I've had enough. College is not that hard. You go to class maybe five times a week (yeah I know some of you dirtbags only go three or four). And I'm sure that your classes don't take up your entire day. Midterms and finals? Where does all of this stress come from? If you have been paying attention in class you shouldn't have to study that much. If you don't do so great, oh well, it's a test not a death sentence. Pay better attention in class and get a higher grade next time. An all-nighter? Really? Whether it was to study or finish work, I've never stayed up all night. There's no way that doing so is necessary. You might be thinking that it may sound like I don't care enough or don't try as hard as I could, but that's a ridiculous thought, so flush that out of your whiny soul. Yeah, I called you whiny deal with it. College kids are constantly complaining about something.

I'm so tired I've had to sit on my ass and read all day.

Please, please just stop. Have you ever spent an entire day working on your feet? And not working as in walking around carrying papers. I mean working. Like physical labor that hurts your body. You get to wear sweatpants any day you want, stop complaining.

I have no money *sob *sob

You're in college, you're not supposed to have any money. You're in college so you can make money later. Suck it up for a little while and then reap the benefits. And really, you don't need money. Everything you need should be on campus. The only things that you need money for are things that you want. Stop being a bum.

I'm bored

You live with thousands of people, you can find something to do. If you hate people, here's an idea: go get your work done! Or read. Yes, reading is a thing that you're allowed to do. Don't have a book? Incredible! There's a library here! Who knew?

If you set up a reasonable work schedule, limit distractions, and most importantly stop complaining, college will become easy for you. No more unnecessary all-nighters. No more stress. Just chill out, man up, and get your shit done.

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.
