Yay! New academic school year. Time to learn new names, take new classes, and have tons of new experiences. Here are ten things that week zero entails in college:

1. Forgetting everyone’s names

Who the heck remembers people's names on the first try? If you do, then I seriously applaud you.

2. Stating your name, year, major, and Myers-Briggs a million times

This is the college definition of "small talk." If you do it right, then you can delve deeper using these small bits of information.

3. Going to the GIGANTIC and super hectic activities fair

Who knew there could be THAT many campus ministries on one campus??

4. Moving in

Moving in is such a huge hassle, but it's honestly one of my favorite things. It's fun to pack, unpack, and decorate your room!

5. Going on Target and Trader Joe’s runs

Target is such a life saver, and I am always in need of dried mangoes from Trader Joe's.

6. Having your professor go straight from the syllabus to the first chapter real quick

These kinds of professors freaking suck. Chill out please!

7. Stressing about the next few weeks of sleep deprivation and exams coming your way

By this time, I'm already counting down the days till the next break.

All in all, the fun is definitely to be found in week zero and week one. Enjoy them while they last because you're gonna be in for a wild ride until the quarter ends!

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.
