Being president of a student organization is a high honor. Your peers elected you to run this amazing thing! Congrats! It seems like it is all sunshine and rainbows. You have all of these new ideas you want to bring into your organization, with fresh enthusiasm. But it isn't all fun in games when you sit down to plan your first meeting.

When You First Get Elected, It Feels Like This.

You feel a sense of pride and excitement! But then it starts to hit you.

Then It Feels Like This.

You start thinking, "Oh my god they trust me to run this. I don't know what I am doing."

You Start Gaining Confidence As You Start Planning Out The Year.

Then It Is Time For Your First Meeting As President.

It's time to put on your game face and take on the meeting!

And No One Is Prepared.

You walk in all ready to start enacting all of your plans, but no one is ready to take on what you have planned.

But That's Okay, You Are Still Determined To Make Things Work.

It's only a small snag. You still got this!

By The End Of Your First Meeting, You Are Ready To Take On the World... After A Nap.

Then Comes Planning Events, More Meetings, and Other Responsibilities

You will feel like you are dying inside. You probably are but it doesn't stop you from screaming a bit.

You Finally Feel Like You're On Top Of Everything, And Then New Things Start Piling Up.

You Always Have That One Person That Doesn't Know What Is Going On

But At The End Of The Day, You Love What You Do And Wouldn't Change A Thing


At the end of the day, we love being the President of our student organization. No matter the stress, questions, great events or everything in between, we love the organization as if it is our baby.

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.
