The Countdown To Summer, As Told By GIFs

As we near the end of the semester and the school year comes to a close, summer's never looked better. Congrats, everyone! We've made it to the homestretch. However, the last few days before summer seem to drag on and on... From those last few presentations, essays and final exams, school is pretty much torture by the last month. So here's the never-ending countdown to summer, as told by GIFs.

T-Minus 25 Days:

By this point, spring break is long gone and the next break you're going to get is summer. After two semesters worth of work, you're burnt out and all you want to worry about is whether or not you have aloe for your sunburn.

20 Days:

Despite your lack of motivation, the presentations, papers and tests start to suffocate you and every time you think you're done, another project rears its ugly head.

15 Days:

With finals just around the corner, you're slowly beginning to realize you need to start preparing for what is your impending doom.

10 Days:

You probably haven't even attempted to start studying yet because the thought of doing so makes you nauseous.

7 Days:

With one week left, it's time to start cramming, but you don't even know where to begin studying because you don't know what you don't know.

6 Days:

Sleep deprivation is at an all-time high.

5 Days:

You're losing steam and with five days left, you can't quite justify quitting, but all the work you're doing seems pointless and counterproductive.

4 Days:

As your exhaustion begins to catch up with you and your eyes burn from all the studying you've been doing, you contemplate your sanity and how your brain hasn't turned into goo yet.

3 Days:

It's pretty much safe to say if you don't know it now, you're never going to know it. You've been non-stop cramming and you've reached your study capacity, so now it's time to tap out and accept whatever grade you get.

2 Days:

As you start to pack up your things and get ready to move out, you've never been more ready to get home and kiss your responsibilities goodbye for a few months.

1 Day:

With 24 hours left, you're so close to making it and the only thing standing in your way is one final. The finish line is in sight, but this last mile has never felt more torturous.

0 Days:

We made it! With no choice but to accept your final grades, you're all packed up and ready to head home. Despite some stressful days leading up to it, summer is finally here, and it's time to trade in your backpack for a beach bag. Remember to enjoy it!

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.
