"Just put one foot in front of the other. Just get through the day."

18 Thoughts About The New Semester, As Told By "Grey's Anatomy"
AV Club

Well, it's official. Summer is over, and it's time to begin a new year. Whether this is your first semester in college, or your last, these are things that we have all felt when starting a new semester, as told by some of our favorite "Grey's Anatomy" characters.

1. When the PowerPoint slides go from "Syllabus" to "Chapter One."

Why? Just, why? It's too soon.

2. When *that* student won't stop asking questions and drags the class out to the last second.

Seriously though, the lecture was over an hour ago.

3. When your professor assigns homework due during the next class.

What did I ever do to you?

4. When your professor says there will not be any extra credit opportunities.

Well, time to drop out.

5. When participation is a big part of your grade.

Please, no. Anything but this.

6. When you don't come to class prepared and the professor calls on you.

Please don't call on me, please don't call on me...

7. When your professor makes a joke that isn't funny, but you're trying to get on his/her good side.

That was the funniest thing I have ever heard! Now can I have an A?

8. When the class is over and you still have no idea what it was about.

At least you're not the only one.

9. When class is over early, but the professor says, "Expect to be here the full time next class."

Yeah, cool, bye.

10. When you're not even through the first week and you're already failing.

How did this even happen?

11. When you have to introduce yourself to the class.

Why are you torturing me?

12. When somebody asks you how the semester is going.

This is actually how your entire college career is going to be, fyi.

13. When you're told to pick a partner/group to work with for the entire semester.

The ultimate horror.

14. When you have to give yourself a pep-talk, because you don't know how you're going to make it through the semester.

I've totally got this!

15. When you actually do something well, and you're trying not to brag about it.

I'm fabulous, but I'm going to sit here and pretend like it's not a big deal.

16. When somebody says something stupid in class and you're trying to hold yourself back.

Please stop.

17. "I have a no technology policy in my classroom."

Goodbye, outside world.

18. And, finally, when you get a passing grade on an assignment that you thought you failed.

I am unstoppable!

Don't worry, though. It'll be over before you know it.

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.
