Feeling is very important to me. I do what I feel right. If I cannot feel it, I cannot proceed smoothly.

This week made me exasperated. I was completely thrown. This week was the end mid-term. I have three papers due at the same time. On the other hand, I have two exams which I have not started reviewing for. When I check my books, I am missing some papers. I began to feel upset and emotional. I told myself that I do not have time for non-sense. I sat on my table and put my thought into studying. But I do not feel good.

I started blaming myself that I should have done things in advance and on time.

Then I realized it was better to stay positive in every aspect as possible. First, I organized my priorities. I gathered my calendar book and started writing important lists to do. The lists are longer than I thought they would be.

I keep myself busy, but the room is quiet and echoing with my movement. I get up and walk pass the hall to the restroom. I wash my face and take a deep breath. The mirror in front of me is the reflection of myself. But I feel like I do not know him. Who is this person? Who is this failure? Someone walks up to the restroom door and startled, I leave.

I go to my room and start typing a few words for the paper. Suddenly, words come out of nowhere from my mind and I keep on typing. I feel good about what I am doing for the first time. I wish It would last forever. Step by step, I cross off the checklist and call it a night. I went to my bed peacefully.

Suddenly, I hear the vibrating tone of my phone. I look around for my phone but it is not beside me. I realize that I was in bed and my phone was on the study table. I slept the night without finishing the papers. I was dreaming all along. What have I done!

I got up from the bed. Feeling more furious than ever. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I pick up my backpack and went to the Cafeteria. Even though I feel nothing, I go straight to class and talk with the professor.

That day was crazier than ever.

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.
