Now this is just one gal's opinion, but it seems to me that getting into the swing of things is WAY easier at the start of the fall semester rather than the spring. At the start of fall, you've had three months of vacation, and you and your new set of highlighters are ready to get back in the saddle.

At the start of the spring semester, on the other hand, your sleep schedule is WAY off from the Christmas holiday, it's dark by 4 in the afternoon and, oh yeah, IT'S FREEZING so you never want to move, putting your motivation at an all-time low. It's a grumpy and yucky time to be a student, and what better way to help us get through it than with the help of TV's sassiest and shadiest queens.

1. Walking onto campus on day one bundled in multiple scarfs and jackets, wind burnt, distressed and straight up angry.

2. The daily battle you have where you can either sleep for an extra half hour or get up and shower because you're literally a dumpster fire that needs to be extinguished.


But you never do, and you always feel gross. But at least you're well rested...for now.

3. Realizing it's the end of week one, and you already have a TON of work to do.

4. So you decide you're going to be really productive...by catching up on Netflix. Decluttering your cue is part of the organization process, right?

5. When your mom asks you why you're procrastinating so much and you're just like:

6. Actually getting your ass in gear, working really hard and studying all to get a sub-par grade, leaving you feeling personally attacked.

7. Group projects...need I say more?

8. Realizing why you're exhausted and finding it hard to regain your motivation...

9. But also realizing that you are TOUGH and DETERMINED. And even though it's freezing and all you want is a good nap -- you're gonna work your booty off and ace this classes.

So in conclusion, yes, it is hard to get back in gear for the spring semester. But you know what? You can do this. If you want that degree, "You better work, bitch." Now, go forth and prosper, and in the famous words of Mama Ru...

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.
