You wake up in a cold sweat. You’re shaking. You’re raking your brain to see if you did anything you’ll regret last night (and you probably did). This overwhelming sense of dread is the "Sunday Scaries." You wasted an entire weekend drinking and then it hits you that real life starts tomorrow.

Urban Dictionary defines Sunday Scaries, “The feeling you have after a long week of work followed by a Saturday full of binge drinking, when Sunday hits you question your entire existence. Typically characterized by laying in bed all day and both regretting past decisions and questioning your seemingly non-existent future.”

Sounds about right.

Here are seven simple fixes for when the Sunday Scaries hit you.

1. SLEEP

Take a nap. It’s a nice way to calm yourself down and catch up on some of the sleep you definitely missed this weekend

2. Don’t leave all your homework, grocery shopping, cleaning, work, etc. for Sunday.

If you don’t rely on Sunday as your catch-up day, you can use it as a Netlfix binge day and not feel guilty.

3. Get out of the house.

Go for a hike, walk your dog, or even just going for a jog can be a good way to get your mind off the impending doom that is Monday.

4. Take a break from social media.

If you’re embarrassed about what you did on someone’s Snapchat story, or have FOMO about what your friends were doing this weekend, social media is not going to help you get your mind right when you’re preparing for the upcoming week.

5.Eat your favorite food.

There is nothing that takeout Pad Thai can’t fix.

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.
