Before we begin another year of snoozing alarms, power walking to class and spending many nights in the library, here are some suggestions that will ensure you start the year off right:

1. Hug your mom.

Because we all know there is nothing better

2. Create a study playlist on Spotify, Apple Music etc.

Save yourself ten minutes of searching for a song to get work done. Have one ready to go.

3. Get a damn planner. We're too old to be saying "I forgot."

C'mon guys. Get it together.

4. Tell your pet how much you love them.

Because they will miss you too.

5. Enjoy each and every minute of the sunshine.

Leave your phone in the house and go breathe that fresh summer air; it'll be gone before you know it.

6. Savor the home-cooked meals.

Unless you want ramen?

7. Buy nice, new pens - I promise it will make writing that much more enjoyable.

May I suggest the Waterman Hemisphere black and gold fine point? Or am I just a loser?

8. Get into the habit going to the gym; the sooner you start the easier it will get, trust me.

As a health junkie, I could give you countless reasons on how exercise helps you physically and mentally. Better you = better school year, so grab your Nikes and let's do this.

Cheers to the 2018/2019 school year, folks. We got this.

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.
