The First Week Of Classes, As Told By Cats
HopesWonderland

Ladies and gentlemen, we did it. We survived the first week of the semester after summer break! The first week is a rough one, especially if you are a freshman or a transfer student. We all go through the same series of emotions as we learn to navigate our new schedule, decorate this year's dorm room, and readjust our digestive systems to dining hall food. Luckily, these cats seem to be feeling similarly...

First, panic sets in; move-in is in 24 hours and you haven't started packing yet.


Never fear; packing is rarely as terrible as you anticipate it to be.


The not-so-fun part is adjusting to your teeny tiny dorm room.


But you do enjoy catching up with your friends.


You're rocking your new back to school wardrobe,


and you even agreed with your roommate to start going to the gym together!


Unfortunately, going over the syllabus in each class is nearly putting you to sleep...



and going back to eating dining hall food has you questioning why you bought a meal plan.

But then Thursday night rolls around...



and you are reminded how much you love college!


The next morning is rough...


But your pile of homework wakes you up in an instant.


Sunday night may look like this,


But you'll feel on top of the world when you finish your first week!


Fourteen more weeks of this organized chaos and we will be at the end of the semester. Stay strong!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
