We've all been in that moment, when we suddenly look at the time and realize that our assignment is due within the hour. It's this intense and crazy period of time where the entire world just seems to rush by. In that single moment, one can't even begin to imagine how he or she can make the deadline in time.

1. It all begins with that moment you receive the assignment.

If only it actually disappeared forever...

4. But, it's still there hanging above your head.

It should be on your to-do list, however its fallen too far behind.

5. As the weeks go by you eventually forget about it.

But, the assignment hasn't forgotten you.

6. It comes back just in the nick of time to bite you in the back.

It really is a painful experience.

7. Although the reminder is necessary, it seems as if time has gone by too quickly.

You look at the calendar and think to yourself there is no way today is the deadline.

8. The calendar must be wrong.

You check again and again, but to no prevail for the calendar is correct.

9. In an instant you get started on your assignment.There seems as if there is no way it can be done.

11. It's as if time is speeding up just so you won't complete it.

Time just won't take a break to pause for a second.

12. So, you end up working up a storm.

Your weak attempts fail quickly.

14. Yet, suddenly in a spirt of energy you seem to be getting more and more done.

It's as if you are actually going to finish.

15. There's barely a minute left and you hit the submit button.

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.
