I am excited to go back to school. I get to see my friends and start new classes. The beginning of the year is a super exciting time. Although the beginning of the year is a lot of fun, some of the things we have to get done before going back to school are definitely not fun. As we all getting ready to head back college I thought I would remind you of some of them out!

1. Watching your money quickly disappear out of your bank account

You worked all summer but now it is time to go back to school. You go to the store thinking that you only need a few things for your brand new apartment or dorm room, but it turns out you need a lot more things than you thought you did. Then after that, you have to buy all your books for your classes for the semester. Next, you get your meal plan or buy groceries so you don't starve to death. Finally, you buy a whole boatload of other stuff you probably don't actually need. College is expensive, my friend.

2. Online modules

Many colleges have you complete safety and educational modules on important topics like sexual harassment. While these things take you some time, it is important to take them seriously.

3. Packing all your stuff up

After spring semester you packed up your stuff so you go study abroad in France, visit your family, or intern for a company. But congratulations, it is now is time to pack up all your stuff again!

4. Moving in

Yup, is it time for you to struggle dragging your mini refrigerator up 5 flights of stairs! Moving in is stressful and a lot of work. Hopefully, you can find some friends, family, or maybe even some friendly strangers to help you out. It is super tiring but at the end of the day, it is worth it when your place looks perfect!

5. Filling out paper work

There are so many forms. I cannot even tell you how many forms there are. But every form is important and your life will be a lot easier if you fill them out immediately.

6. Last minute class scheduling

Of course, most of us picked all of our classes in the spring, but sometimes our minds change or something else happens. Classes may be added that you like better, a class may be canceled, or you may be frantically waiting to get off the waitlist for a class you really need.

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.
