A Day In The Life Of A College Student

We are not always as productive as we would like to be.

A Day In The Life Of A College Student

Is it morning already? Alright, it's 7:40 a.m. and my class is at 8 a.m., so I can sleep 10 more minutes and still be there, right on time...

And I'm late. Again. I'll just sit in the back with a hoodie on so no one can judge my bad hair or lack of makeup...

Since when was there a quiz today?! It was probably on the syllabus. I really should look at that more often.

Alright, here we go, I can definitely pass this quiz of which I knew nothing about. Question one: Nope, next one. Which class am I in again? I should really get the textbook for this class. Maybe the answers to the quizzes are in the textbook.

So one bad grade won't hurt. At least now I can get food. Let's see how much money I have.

Does anyone understand the struggle of trying to eat healthy when you don't have money? Why does a fruit bowl cos $6 but a cheeseburger at McDonald's is $1? Cheeseburger it is!

OK, now I should probably work out. Although, I could just wake up early before class and jog. Never mind, that definitely won't happen. Maybe I'll just nap instead. Oh, hey, I see someone I know! I should probably say hi.

Alright, now I can nap because my day has been really hard and I need a break from everything. Although, now that I think about it, I haven't done anything productive today.

OK, fine, I'll actually go to the gym and finally do the workouts that I have on my Pinterest fitness board. Wow, the gym smells worse than I thought. Where do I even start? I feel like everyone is staring at me. They know I have no idea what I'm doing. These machines come with instructions, right?

Elliptical it is! Cardio is good for the heart, anyway.


That's it, I'm leaving. It's dinner time, anyway. How much money do I have? A dollar? Good enough. Now I can eat and fall asleep to Netflix. I hope nothing is due tomorrow.

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.
