It is a new semester and that means it is another chance to make it a great one. No matter what, there are always going to be some toxic people that will bring you down. So, here are a few people to avoid in college:

1. Gossip girl or guy.

This person wants to talk about any and every thing. He or she usually has nothing nice to say and just do not know when to stop talking. Do not let that individual drag you into drama that does not involve you.

2. The Whiner.

This person complains all the time about stuff that is his or her fault. Try not to get too involved with this person because eventually it becomes your responsibility to fix the problems and it is your fault if anything goes wrong.

3. "It was the professor, not me!"

This individual blames the professor for everything. The professor is just unfair and absolutely hates them. NO! The truth is you just did not do the work and you are mad because you got a zero. Leave this person alone and try to limit your contact with him or her.

4. The person who never does the homework. 

The homework is never done and they never have the notes. Do not become a source for this person. It is okay to say no.

5. The "just do it tomorrow" person. 

This person procrastinates a lot and expects you to do the same. They don't want to do "nothing" alone, but you cannot afford to join them.

6. The "can you cover for me?" person. 

This person is always skipping or disappearing and expecting you to cover for them. Just do not do it.

7. The "I'm sorry, but not really" person. 

This is the fake friend. He or she will treat you like dirt, use you, and give you a fake apology. You were never a friend to them, but just an object for them to use.

Push these toxic people out of your life. Do not allow them to bring you down. Make 2019 great!

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.
