It's really hard to remember due dates without professors reminding you constantly. Here are some ways that help me.

1. I keep all the assignments open.

Me when I get another assignment.

If a professor is using a Canvas dropbox, I will have the assignment open on a tab on my laptop until I turn it in. It just helps me to quickly see how many assignments that I have to complete at one time. By organizing my tabs I can also prioritize which assignments I should complete first by moving the corresponding tab to the furthest left position.

2. I use the calendar setting on Canvas.

When you see all the assignments you have to complete.

If it is a busy week and I know that I have a ton of assignments, I like to keep a tab open on my laptop for the calendar on Canvas. I typically will always have this tab open, even if I have already pulled up all of the assignment pages. It just ensures that I can easily access what is due.

3. I use a planner.

Although it is helpful for me to use a store-bought planner. This is the option that I use the least. I typically only use my planner on weeks that I have a lot of things to do outside of class, so that I can schedule my day down to the hour.

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.
