Dear STEM Majors,

First of all, thank you for assisting with the way the world operates; without science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, we would be unable to create novel inventions that make life easier, develop a greater understanding of human health, or make discoveries in nature. The countless hours you spending memorizing, applying, and experimenting all result in a very important lens to view the world through; if we did not have that lens, then the world would not be as advanced and explanations would be lost.

STEM majors are extremely important for the human race to continue excelling.

Those who are brave enough to dive into the highly intimidating fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics should develop a strong sense of pride; after all, these people are working with the brains who can comprehend incredibly complex notions and sometimes prove some for the very first time. Thus, the entire world commends you for exhibiting relentless hard work and dedication to these grueling fields.

Your chosen field of study in the realm of STEM is challenging. Somedays, probably more often than you would prefer, you wonder if this is even the right field for you in the first place. Difficulties are bound to arise in any situation, especially in some of the most intense fields to study; do not let challenges or setbacks discourage you.

When you feel like you are suffocating under the enormous workload, remember why you started in the first place. Can you recall what inspired you to make the decision to be a STEM major? Do you remember the invigorating passion that pushed you to get this far? Well, conjure those same feelings to continue persevering forward. And if you can't remember why you started, perhaps you can easily envision your end goal. The world needs STEM majors to contribute to the advancement of medicine, the development of infrastructure, the creation of technology, and much, much more.

So, next time that you feel yourself entirely engulfed by a huge STEM major workload, do not give up. Remember that the tough times will occur, but you will also get through them. After all, the outcome for doing so will definitely be worth it.

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.
