End Of Fall Semester: As Told By Jennifer Lawrence
giphy.com

Congratulations, you’ve reached the end of fall semester. Well, almost. You are just a few weeks away from stress-free holiday fun.


But before you sell your textbooks back and binge watch Christmas movies, you have to deal with the exams... and the projects... and the presentations...


So it's time to crack open those books and start studying, right? But you know you won't be doing that quite yet because you're a procrastinator. It's just part of who you are.


So you'll take a nap or two, watch some Netflix, clean your room. Pretty much do anything to avoid schoolwork. But eventually you'll remember that your big assignment is due tomorrow.


You're getting closer and closer to finals week. Maybe you should start looking over your old notes. Especially since your Chem professor just told you that the final exam is cumulative.


This is when the stress really kicks in. You've been ignoring the fear for a while but here it is. You have to turn your grades around if you want to graduate and get a good job and make a lot of money and have a family and have a dog and a nice house and a nice car in a nice city with health insurance and a retirement plan.


And with stress comes stress-eating. From Flaming Hot Cheetos to Taco Bell burritos, junk food makes everything a little better.


Plus you've been consuming caffeine nonstop for the past three days in order to stay awake and focused.


But you know that all the food, all the coffee, and all the late nights at the library will be worth it when you walk out of your exam knowing you slayed it.


Good luck finishing your fall semester and may the odds be ever in your favor.

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.
