I am no longer ashamed to cry in public.

18 Signs You're Done With This Semester

It's the time for late night studying, questioning what you're doing with your life and an excessive amount of crying. That's right; it's the end of spring semester. You may feel like you're falling into a bottomless pit of despair, because you are, but at least you're not going through this hell alone.

Virtually everyone on campus (minus a few people who you currently hate with your entire being) are going through the exact same thing you are. The natural response to "how are you?" has disintegrated from "good" to "fine" to "alright" to "help me, I'm dying."

If you find yourself dreaming of the days when you can sit like a vegetable on your couch with your dog nearby, you might be done with your semester. If you're not at that point quite yet, here are some other signs it's time for you to go home:

1. You haven't done laundry in weeks, so your outfits are starting to become weirder as you search through your remaining clothes to find something to wear.

2. You get irrationally angry at everyone over the smallest things.

Sometimes you get angry at inanimate objects, too. It depends on who gets in your way.

3. Your professor assigned a final paper and a final exam.

4. Ordering has gone from once a week to once a night.

5. You are no longer ashamed to cry in public.

People are more likely to offer words of encouragement than to judge you.

6. You're considering taking up alcoholism.

7. You no longer have the will to get up for morning classes/early studying.

Maybe it's because you've been going to bed at 2 a.m. every night doing work.

8. Showering/personal hygiene is optional.

Once again, people probably aren't going to judge you.

9. You call your family more for absolutely no reason.

10. You go on large adventures you really don't have the time for.

Sure, you have two exams and a paper due tomorrow, but Chipotle sounds awesome.

11. You have no money, but you spend more money than you have all semester.

12. The best part of your day is lying in your bed for the 20-minutes before you fall asleep.

13. You've never watched more videos of cute animals in your life; nor have you taken this many Buzzfeed quizzes.

No one else is being productive either.

14. People keep telling you to cheer up, but that just makes it worse.

15. Everything makes you laugh. And then you start crying.

16. You think you're being philosophical when you write your final papers, but you're really just spitting out garbage.

17. You've considered running away more than once today.

18. You keep telling everyone how done you are with the 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.

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.
