12 Signs It's The Beginning Of The Semester

Winter Break has come to an end and you've already trekked back to your campus. Your classes have started and you're already regretting your decision to take an 8am class. But despite your lack of judgement in creating a good schedule you're still determined to kick butt this semester. Here are 12 signs that your semester has started.

1. You're the only one in the library.

The library during syllabus week and the library during finals week are at two opposite ends of the spectrum.

2. It's back to the fast food life for you.

You're reunited with your favorite fast food joints that you don't have back in your hometown.

3. Winter break is just a distant memory. The excitement of the holiday season is behind you.

See you next year, Santa!

4. You're looking forward to spring break way more than you should be.

Despite the lack of concrete plans you have for this break, you just know it is going to be good. Also, you may or may not have a countdown going.

5. You can feel your procrastination tendencies creeping back up again.

Procrastination is like being stuck in quick-sand.

6. Your desk is covered in a mix between new school supplies for this semester and old notebooks from last semester.

7. You just spent all of your money on textbooks and you're not even sure if the professor will even use them.


Curse the professors who do this!

8. Trying to detect the amount you can slack off in class while still pleasing the professor.

In short, is the reading necessary?

9. Reunions with roommates, friends and professors.

Hugs all around!

10. You arrive to class 15 minutes early so that you can claim your seat, hoping eventually no one will dare sit there because they know it's yours.

Back off this seat is mine.

11. All of your BistroBucks / Dining Dollars have been replenished and it's time for all the Starbucks you can drink...until you run out again.

If you're anything like me, then it won't take too long!

12. You're feeling pretty confident about this semester...though it's most likely because none of your professors have actually gotten to the important stuff yet.

Good luck this semester!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
