Summer classes. You can't deny the appeal. They're usually easier, cheaper, and after taking five or six classes in one semester, you think taking one or two in the summer will work better with your schedule. Every college kid faces this dilemma at one point or another, and here are the seven stages of taking a summer class.

1. Trying to decide

Do I really want to take a summer class? Can I afford to take this? Is there a class I want to take?

2. Picking the right class

"Okay, this one sounds easy, AND it gives me the credits I need, sounds perfect!"

3. The first day of class

You wake up excited, thinking these next few weeks will fly by and you'll be a few credits closer to your degree.

4. Slight regrets

As soon as your professor starts going over the syllabus, you realize the class may not be as easy as everybody said it would be.

5. Even more regrets

Wait... I have to buy a textbook?? And all the exams are in essay format??? Oh no.

6. Working hard... or hardly working?

You commit to the class, even with all of the assignments, and push yourself as hard as you can for those next two to five weeks.

7. Crossing the finish line

Whether you're thriving, or barely surviving, you finally finished your summer class(es) and now you can enjoy the rest of your break!

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.
