The 8 People You Get Stuck With For A Group Project

We have all had the misfortune of being assigned to a group project, so we all know the struggle. Whether you are in a group full of slackers or a group of people who take the project way too seriously, we can all agree that group projects SUCK (unless you are the jerk that lets your group pull all of your weight). There are many different elements that contribute to the awfulness of the god forsaken group projects. And none of them are positive.

1. The Dictators

We know when the due date is, please quit reminding us.

2. The Slackers

We all know these ones all too well. They are the ones who never offer to do a single thing and get zeros on all peer reviews.

3. The Procrastinators

It doesn't matter how big or how small the task, it can wait until the night before it is due.

4. The Selective Hearer

Even though the professor says the due date 15 times over, this guy still has to ask when it is.

5. The Clown

6. The Ditz

... Does this one even need an explanation? They are the ones who barely know what class they are in let alone the concepts of this project.

7. The Silent Genius

They are the ones you know get all A's, but for some reason they never speak up. When you finally ask them what they think, they lay out a perfect format and you can't help but wonder where that input was a week ago.

8. The Complainer

Whether they are mad about the due date or the fact that they spilled their coffee earlier, you will get an earful. They can't not express their complaints to anyone forces to listen, whether it pertains to you or not.

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.
