As you've finished ordering all of your new nursing things and signing up for classes, you celebrate again because YOU'RE GONNA BE A NURSE!!!

7. Stress about future stress.

Unfortunately now you've started thinking about how busy you'll be and how you'll need to spend all of your waking hours studying. So you start to stress about how you will be stressed those days.

8. Denial

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.

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.

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.
