15 Signs You're a Passenger on the Struggle Bus

When you began this spring semester you told yourself that the one thing getting you through each week and your source of motivation was spring break. What could be better than the thought of a whole week of no classes and being on vacation with your friends. Well, spring break is over, so now what? If you're like me (and I'm guessing I'm not alone) you may or may not have a first class seat on the struggle bus, and I see myself riding it all the way to May. Not sure if you qualify for a seat on the struggle bus? Here are some clues you might already be riding it.

1. You have flipped a coin with your roommates for who has to go get the pizza this time.

Carry-out is cheaper than delivery.

2. You may or may not have thought about or actually did use a lint roller on your floor instead of a vacuum.

Sorry, mom! I swear I really do use the vacuum you bought me!

3. Throughout the semester you have collected all your loose change and you've taken it to a Coinstar machine in exchange for "real money."

Sure, you have to make a trip to Walmart, but it's much less painful than giving blood for money.

4. Overdosing on Emergen-C because you know it's about to be a long night of cramming.

At least it makes the tap water taste better!

5. Towards the end of the semester you realize you spent more time searching for the cheapest text book than you have spent reading it so far.

Amazon, Chegg, bookstores, I don't know they're all expensive for books you never use.

6. You can count on seeing all your friends at your favorite bar at one time: happy hour.

Day drinking it the best kind, anyways.

7. You have realized that you actually need to start being productive so your roommate currently has your Instagram, Netflix and Twitter passwords.

And probably vice versa.

8. Your apartment's wifi is out again and you're not done with your Netflix binge so you might have mooched some internet from your neighbor...

Thanks, dovekilla19 :)

9. You empty your trash and see it is filled with wristbands from Chimys...

Oh, maybe that could also be a reason we're not being productive.

10. That being said, mixed in with those wristbands is Chick-Fil-A trash.

Where else can you get delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner?!

11. "Well, I walked to class today and did a plank, so, yeah, I'll go get froyo with you."

Exercise might be good for the body, but froyo is good for the soul.

12. You may or may not have cried to a teacher and/or an advisor in the past month.

It's ok, they've seen it all.

13. Washing clothes only when you are out of the essentials: underwear and T shirts.

T shirts don't really get THAT dirty, right?

14. Great, now that you've washed your clothes they'll probably sit in the hamper or on your desk for a few more days.

But, hey, at least they're clean.

15. Looking forward to moms weekend not only because we get to go out with our best friends and their moms but we might even get clean rooms and groceries, too!

But, truthfully, it's one of the best weekends of the year, mom.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
