The end of the semester is approaching ever so slowly as we lose motivation and dread the upcoming exams. Everyone needs a little motivation to get themselves through these final few weeks of the spring semester.

"You learn more from failure than from success. Don't let it stop you. Failure builds character."

You learn from your failures. Don't kick yourself for failing an exam. You will learn how to study the correct way for that particular class. Don't worry if you have to repeat a class. You will do better this time. Your GPA will rise. The problems in your life will subside. It will be okay. These failures will make you who you are. Do not give up.

"If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you."

It won't be easy. Chasing your dreams and finally graduating with your degree will not be a piece of cake. But the challenge is going to be worth it when you finally walk across the stage and accept that diploma or when you get your acceptance letter into law school or when you can finally call yourself a doctor.

"Be fearless in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire."

Chase the dreams that excite you. Chase the dreams that make you want to work harder. Don't give up. Don't settle. If it sets your soul on fire and excites you in a way you cannot explain, do whatever you can to chase those dreams.

"Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will."

You may feel limited as you study and hope for the future. You may feel as if you cannot do what your heart wants to do. This doubt will kill more dreams than failing a final or a class will. Believe in yourself. You are your only limit.

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.
