In This Article:

You know what they say - first impressions are everything. Following suit, the same goes for the first day of school. Whether you are just beginning your journey as a college freshman or getting ready to end your senior year with a bang, there will always be a multitude of thoughts every college girls ponders upon her return or arrival to college.

1. Will I have time to stop for Starbucks on the way to class? 

Face it. We all know that the only way to survive a day of college successfully is to be fully caffeinated.

2. Do I really want to wear sweatpants on the first day of classes? 

There is nothing a girl loves more than to feel confident. Said confidence is typically sparked by wearing your cutest outfit on the first day of school, though, as the stresses of life begin to increase throughout the quarter, we see the progressive decline of eye-catching apparel. Before you know it, you are waist deep in midterms week, and all traces of makeup, designer tops and accessories have seemed to vanish.

Ladies, let's keep it simple. Start your year in your coziest sweatpants, and you won't fall victim to this trend later on.

3. Will I have to do any actual work today? 

Clearly, we all know that it is syllabus week - the week where you do absolutely nothing (aside from going out!) and get away with it. Yet, there is always that one professor who feels compelled to make the most of the torturous ninety minutes you are forced to spend in their classroom, typically leaving students with assigned readings for the pop quiz taking place at the next class meeting.

4. Follow up: To read or not to read? 

This is where things tend to get tricky. You are getting ready for a fun night out with your friends when you are suddenly overwhelmed with the plaguing thoughts of whether or not you will pass said pop quiz. You tell yourself you will find the time to prepare for the following class, yet, in actuality, you cannot come to terms with the fact that you are simply lying to yourself.

5. I am only here to inquire about the attendance policy. 

We have one question, and one question only: how many unexcused absences can be used before our professors start to notice?

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.
