I have a love/hate relationship with the snooze button.

Now that summer school is right around the corner, I need to get used to waking up early but, WOW, sleep is so good and so tempting. It's seriously so hard to wake up early, especially since I've been sleeping in for so long now...here are ten struggles of doing so:

1. The snooze button is right there

I've tried placing my phone far away to force myself to get up, but it's a lost cause.

2. My bed looks and IS too comfortable

I've tried to make my bed after waking up, but I just end up crawling back in.

3. I look, feel, am tired

Dark circles are just my everyday look.

4. Mid-day naps are heaven-sent

Mid-day naps are the best, but they make it significantly harder to fall asleep at night.

5. At a certain extent, it’s just a fight with your mind

I could be exercising, getting work done, or spending time with family instead of sleeping. BUT, sleep is ultimately #1 on some days.

6. It’s hard to deal with people in the morning

Please don't talk to me till I've eaten (I don't drink coffee).

7. I try to sleep early, but Netflix is too darn good

I get in bed to sleep at 11, but all the drama in Grey's Anatomy keeps me up to 2 in the morning.

8. You set a dozen alarms to wake up, but they prove insufficient

Sorry to my past and future roommates/apartment mates!!

At this point, I'm going to have to force myself to become a morning person. This may mean more mid-day naps or a desire to drink coffee, but at least I won't be late for class!

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.
