I have worked my way through my entire college career finding jobs that worked around my school schedule, but this past semester I didn't. I took the semester off of work and decided to focus on my classes. For the past 3 weeks I have lived off of $7. If it wasn't for my grandma, I have no clue how I would have survived. Anytime I called crying about not having any money, she would hit me with that transfer into my bank account.

Now that classes are out, I had to go back to work. After three long weeks of working, I finally have reached payday. I would like to take this time to thank all those who helped me survive these past 20 weeks.

1) My Grandma

Any time I called her to tell her my gas light was on or I didn't have money to eat lunch, she would come to the rescue. Thank you for the countless gallons of gas.

2) Target

Whoever is in charge of raising limits on target Red Cards, thank you. Every time I was nearing my limit, a nice little letter in the mail would coming telling me my limit was raised. Then I would be able to purchase gift cards to Wendy's with my Red Card.

3) Wendy's

Thank you for including the Double Stack in the 4 for $4. In between classes, you'd catch me at Wendy's only spending $4 on a lunch (I probs got the $4 from my grandma).

4) Hunter and Kiah

Hunter, thank you for always having that BOGO coupon for shakes at Steak 'n' Shake, and always buying the shake so mine would be free. Thanks boo! Kiah, thank you for bringing me donuts and coffee to work when I was dying and broke. Don't know what I would do with out you!

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.
