37 First Week of Class Thoughts

You never really know what a new school year has in store for you until you're sitting through all the same orientations for each class. You can always think that you're prepared by buying new notebooks or folders, but really that's the only thing you have successfully accomplished. The summer hadn't really prepared you for sitting in a classroom for more than an hour while listening to the teacher go over a syllabus that was already posted on Blackboard. Now, I understand it is important to know what is going on, but all I'm saying is that it is much different than waking up at 11 a.m. to go make a bomb breakfast sandwich. Here are some things that have gone through my head as I walked into class and saw that another year of my life had passed.

1. "WUT am I doing in here again?"

2. Seeing that professor around campus and thinking they are so relaxed and giving, but in reality it's quite the opposite. Sad day.

3. "What am I going to have for din din tonight...pizza rolls?...pizza rolls."

4. "I have 35 more weeks to go."

5. "So, when is Friday?"

6. "Netflix it is."

7. "What makes a bunch of papers stuck together so expensive?"

8. "Hopefully Ma will send me a care package that includes a $100 bill -- yas."

9. "I just spent $50 on wall decor..."

10. "Have people over to watch endless Disney movies? Sure."

11. "I wonder who has the most stocked refrigerator on campus."

12. "Definitely becoming friends with them. ^"

13. "I wonder what my friends at home are doing?"

14. "Probably missing me."

15. "But not as much as I am missing them."

16. "How long will it take until I run out of things to think about?"

17. "Why am I always so tired?"

18. "Oh, probably because I'm sitting in an 8 a.m. class."

19. "Who is that person?"

20. "When will I ever graduate and travel the world?"

21. "What would happen if I won $100,000,000?"

22. "No one would know, probably."

23. "I swear if I get another email I'm going to flip this table."

24. "You mean coming to college means you actually have to study?"

25. "I wonder what time the gym will have the least amount of people in it."

26. "Wonder what morning team workout will be the hardest of the week."

27. "I am about to die when we start them. ^"

28. "How many chapters do I have to read in order to pass? All of them."

29. "What I learned in boating school is...."

30. "Siri, stop trying to go off in the middle of class."

31. "I'm just trying to get to graduation."

32. "This week feels like it's meant to be attended in my room."

33. "Why is gray a shade and not a color?"

34. "I wonder who I could get to buy me a turtle."

35. "I need water to make it through this lecture."

36. "Calls for more bathroom breaks."

37. "Step your game up and do your homework."

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.

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.
