Maybe it's your first week of class, or maybe it's the week after your first, but either way, with a new semester upon us, we're all sure to have had at least one of these thoughts cross our minds recently.

1. "I think I'm ready to go back home."

First day of class is over? You're ready to go home. Night before class actually starts? Yep, you guessed it. You're already ready to go home.

2. "I'm so excited to be back at school I cannot even contain myself."

OR, maybe you've got this opposite mindset. Maybe you're just so excited to be back at school that you can barely contain yourself. I can't lie, it's a good mindset to have.

3. "Please get me out of here."

That is the exact thought you'll probably have after your first day of classes, or maybe even after your first class. See the above GIF to see what you probably look like come back after your day is over.

4. "This syllabus doesn't look too bad."

First glance at the syllabus doesn't actually look that bad? What sort of alternate reality is this? The above GIF is probably you laughing at yourself for being worried about "nothing."

5. "Never mind, yes it does."

After the first few minutes of reading the syllabus you are now trembling in fear because, YES, it actually is bad. Maybe even worse than you originally thought.

6. "OK, you're going to have a good semester and do your best everyday."

You probably looked in the mirror that morning and gave yourself a small pep talk. This is YOUR semester, and you CAN do great things.

7. "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late."

AND those great things will start once you actually make it to class, which you MAY or may not be running late for.

8. "I think this semester I'll change my study habits for the better."

Giphy

This semester you are going to STUDY. You are going to knock these classes out of the ball park!

9. "I don't think I can read anymore, I'm going to bed."

Except, you have to sleep too. Definitely can't forget to do that.

10. "I don't need sleep, I just need a strong cup of coffee. Emphasis on the STRONG."

Actually, scratch that. All you really need is a strong cup of coffee. Right?

Happy First Week of Class (or first day or second week or whatever you're in now). You 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.
