1. Stay Organized

Keep a schedule of when you have things due and what you need to get done, it'll help immensely.

2. Don't Procrastinate

I'm a total hypocrite for saying this, but it definitely feels better to get things done in a timely matter.

3. Ask For Help If You Need It

There's nothing wrong with asking.

4. Remember Your Grades Don't Define You

You are more than a piece of paper! Don't let it get you down if you don't do as fabulously as you'd hoped.

5. Remember That At Least It's Almost Christmas

The silver lining.

6. Eat And Sleep Enough

Healthy physical health will help with your mental health.

7. Take A Break If You're Freaking Out

Go do something else if it's just not working, usually a bit of time off will do a lot of good.

8. Go Hang Out With Some Animals For A Bit

They have emotional support animals for a reason, and that's because animals rock go pet something fluffy.

9. Chocolate

Because... Chocolate.

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.

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.

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.
