If you're like me and have bitten off a bit more than you can chew this semester, then this article is for you.

At the beginning of every semester, I always get really motivated and sign up for all the classes and clubs and make all of these plans with people, thinking that I'll be able to handle it. Usually, I'm okay for about six weeks, and then everything starts picking up and piling on and I feel like I'm drowning.

Also, I feel like all of my professors have secret meetings in which they discuss how they can all plan all of their things for the same time just to mess with me.

Hopefully I'm not the only one?

Things You Know If your Workload is Slowly Sapping Away Your Life

You come into the school year motivated and ready for whatever your life throws at you, but maybe you were a bit too excited when you registered for classes last semester...

You're okay for a while, but then things just keep piling up and piling up, but you just keep putting it off.

Soon, things start to get out of hand, but you're not panicking - yet.




So you lose a little sleep finishing your homework, whatever. It's just one night, right?


WRONG

Now, on top of all the stress from your workload, you have existential life crises on whether or not you should just call it quits.


Or, if you're me...

Somehow, somehow you survive the semester.


That's when the fun starts. After that semester, you deserve it.


We can do it, guys. We're halfway there!

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.
