As fall semester comes to a close and we all stress over finals, let's look back on the good, bad and ugly of this semester. Whether you're a freshman or a senior, you can relate to all of these.

1. How we all felt when everyone told us it gets harder

Remember your parents telling you it's not all fun and games? Seems like forever ago now.

2. How we all feel now

Yeah we are taking L's on a daily basis now. College feels like one very big, very expensive L.

3. Everyone at their first frat party


You were surrounded by so many people you didn't know and you were feeling it.

4. How you feel after your first frat party


"I'm never drinking again." Just the thought of alcohol makes you want to puke.

5. Literally everyone in 8:30 a.m. classes


I'm still wondering why they have early classes when they know 99% of students don't go to bed until at least 2 a.m.

6. Everyone in foreign language classes

You study flashcards and think you know what you're doing but you present your oral exam and you sound like this...

7. Going to football games even though you're not quite sure what's happening

This one is mostly for my South Carolina fans because honestly, this is how the student section looks after every play.

8. Seeing literally every girl's boobs at the football games

We go to football games for the sport, not to see all of these girls wearing the least amount of clothing possible.

9. When anyone asks you to do anything on Sunday

Not only do you need to recover from the weekend, but you also have so much homework and laundry that you can't put off any longer.

10. Hearing the people in the next room doing the nasty

I don't think I have to explain. We are all scarred.

11. Forgetting you had homework to do until it's too late

You probably just realized you have homework to do.

12. Looking at the list of projects, essays, and homework you have due that week

Honestly, there's no way anyone can finish all of this and have time to eat and sleep.

13. How you actually do the readings for English or any class honestly

Readings? Yeah, I did that... kind of.

14. Reading your friend's essay even though you're already stressed to the max

We've all questioned if people ever learned English before now.

15. Literally all day every day

We all have those days. For most of us, this has been a daily feeling since we moved in.

16. Having the worst professor

We all have that one professor. Mine lives with his mom and dresses like Kanye and he is too socially awkward to teach anyone anything.

17. When any small inconvenience happens on top of the mess that is your life

You ran out of toilet paper, you can't find your favorite pair of jeans, and you hear people laughing while you're studying. Like why doesn't the world revolve around me? I'm a good person.

18. Me at the end of every day

Forever wishing I actually had a bathtub in my dorm because I would be much more relaxed than I am right now.

19. When your parents call to check on you

You don't know how to tell your parents that your world is falling apart and you have no clue what you're doing. Just say you're eating vegetables and you actually got some sleep last night; save your mom the heartache.

20. Looking at your grades

Even if you have an A or an F in a class, you studied so much you feel like you deserve a nobel prize or something.

21. Listening to your friends talk about wanting to get drunk all the time

You stayed in the library all night while everyone did something with their lives.

22. Thinking you want to get your life together

We all know that feeling when we accomplished one task and thought we could be adults now.

23. When your professor tells you there will be material on the final you never went over


You just took an exam one week before the final and you think your professor is done teaching.

24. When your professors don't seem to understand how hard finals are

Think about how many students drink excessive amounts of Red Bull, take Adderall, and don't eat for days. Finals threaten the safety of all students.

25. Thinking about doing it all again next semester

Yeah, we have to do it all over again in a few weeks.

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.
