Summer is supposed to be the time when you're free to do whatever you want. No classes to wake up early for, no homework to be completed each night...but what about the bills you've got piling up? Working a full-time job has its ups and downs; you have some extra cash but no free time to do anything remotely fun. These 11 struggles are sure to cross your mind if you're one of the *lucky* ones that get to work full-time jobs this summer.

1. You think you'll get rich fast.

Yeah, til your first month of rent is due or you realize cooking (or eating out) every night is not going to be cheap.

2. You will constantly feel tired.

Working 40 hours a week just might be the death of you.

3. You'll miss your social life.

Sure, you'll have the nights and weekends, but you can kiss those spontaneous weekday beach trips goodbye.

4. You'll surely miss your friends.

You'll quickly learn to love your coworkers, though, since most of your time will be spent with them.

5. You might even miss the school year.

Writing essays and reading textbooks absolutely sucked, but at least there was a point when the workload was over and you could enjoy yourself.

6. You'll learn to have a love-hate relationship with your job.

You love the money and experience it brings you, but you know you're not ready for a full-time job; can we stay in college forever?

7. You probably will have a minimum of five alarms set every morning.

Being an adult is hard work and waking up early is a huge part of that.

8. Your world will revolve around caffeine.

Caffeine, all day every day.

9. You live for the weekend.

Ah, alas, two days you can sleep in if you're lucky.

10. You question how your parents do this every day.

Now you understand why they're always exhausted.

11. You wonder whether or not you're even ready to graduate.

Am I even cut out for this whole adulthood thing?

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.
