The 13 Phases Of A College Student's November

If you're like most people, then you're probably starting to get in the holiday spirit because November has finally arrived! Maybe you're starting to plan your Thanksgiving feast or getting some early Christmas shopping out the way. Perhaps you're sitting outside enjoying the nice fall breeze while sipping a pumpkin spice latte. Odds are, if you're in college, you're not doing anything remotely close to that! When you're in college, November just doesn't seem as magical as it used to. Our GPAs are dropping faster than the temperature, and while the cold air once reminded us of nights spent nestled on the couch with a warm cup of hot chocolate, it now reminds us of fast approaching deadlines and exams. Here's what college students go through during November!

1. When the Halloween candy goes on sale on November 1st.

Give me all the candies!

2. When you realize you only have a month to bring up your GPA.

3. Trying to figure out exactly what you've learned in the last three months.

What classes am I even taking?!

4. Frantically trying to schedule for next semester.

5. Seeing that all of the classes you wanted to take are full.

6. Waking up before 10 A.M. is nearly impossible.

7. When you look at all of the due dates coming up.

8. Having to get out of your nice, warm bed and walk to class in the freezing cold.

9. When you realize finals are next month.

10. Thinking about all the food you're gonna eat at Thanksgiving.

I'm gonna bust it up!!!

11. Questioning if you're even cut out to be in college.

12. Calculating the minimum amount of work you need to do in order to pass.

Always remember - C's get degrees!

13. When you remember there's only one month standing between you and winter break!

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.
