Every Stressed Out College Student

All of this while juggling work and a social life.

College is a time of finding yourself. College is also a time of seeing how much you can take before you break. In college you are faced with exams that test every inch of your knowledge, homework that takes hours upon hours to complete, and study nights that push your sleep limits. All of this while juggling work and a social life. It can get pretty hectic, but I think that in college, everyone can understand these phases when the weeks get tough.

1. You've pulled one too many all nighters lately and you're at the point where you need sleep more than you need water.

2. You've contemplated everything and you think your best option is to leave while you can.

3. You decide to not drop out, but you still don't know how you're going to go on.

4. You're up late studying (again) and you've realized that there is only one cure for your studying pains.

5. You begin to think back and all you want is to be in kindergarten again when you were ensured a nap time.

6. You count down the days for your next break.

7. You've got a test tomorrow and you still don't know what you're studying for.

8. C's may get degrees, but when you get your test back, you hit this stage.

9. And when you get your test back and it's not what you wanted, your heart breaks into a million different pieces.

10. You finally finish all of your exams for the week and you want to have fun, but you just can't.

11. You get home and this is you.

12. Sleep is your only option at this point.

13. When you finally wake up from your 12-hour nap.

14. The weekend is here and you're determined to get over the bad week that you had.

15. And then you wake up Monday morning to repeat the entire process.

College can be tiring, stressful, and downright miserable at times, but in the end, this one moment is stuck in the back of our heads.

And this one moment and that piece of paper will make all of the sleepless nights worth it in the end.

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.
