In lieu of the hell that all college students everywhere have just gone through.

Twas The Night Before Finals

Twas the night before finals, and all through the night, he was procrastinating; dreading daylight.

No writing had been done for he did not care, in hopes that somehow college would no longer be there.

When all of a sudden, a clock did chime. It was 5AM and he would never write his 30-page essay on time!

He opened his laptop and feverishly did write, why the heck hadn't he done this earlier? He had had all night!

In two hours his paper was finished and all hope of graduating had long since vanished.

He tiredly dressed and got to campus last, and with a tear in his eye, handed the stack over without daring to look at the class.

For two long weeks he did wait, for the dreaded news of his terrible fate.

' Summer classes aren't for me!' He thought. But the more he thought the worse it got.

The report finally arrived in the mail, and he didn't open it for fear he'd failed.

Two weeks later he built up the strength, and opened the envelope with an amount of time that could've been measured in length.

When he finally opened his eyes, he could not believe the sight; he had gotten an A+! ... 'WAKE UP! WHAT WERE YOU DOING ALL NIGHT?'

'I got an A+ on my paper!' he screamed. But all his roommate did was laugh. All he had thought was real, he had dreamed.

It was finals day with no essay written, and he was creamed.

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.
