It seems like January has been a long month for a lot of people, but thankfully it's now February! A new month means that there is a whole new list of things to do and look forward from your first round of exams to celebrating Valentine's Day! To help you stay on track and enjoy your month of February, as well as stay on track with all your responsibilities, make sure to keep reading:

1. Organize your 'junk drawer.'

We all have one. This month set aside thirty minutes to go through your junk drawer. Throw away anything you don't need and organize everything you keep. You will be amazed at some of the things you find!

2. Host a "Galentine's" day party.

Gather some of your girlfriends and host a girl's night. Order pizza, put on your favorite rom-com, and enjoy a night dedicated to celebrating your friendship. These are the people that are by your side through thick and thin, and it is always a nice gesture to celebrate that every once in a while!


3. Finalize your spring break plans.

Spring break is next month and if you don't know what your plans are yet it is time to figure out what they are. Whether you are planning on spending a relaxing weekend back home or hitting up the beach somewhere with your friends it all requires a little planning on your part.

4. Buy fresh flowers.

Flowers brighten up a room, right? Stop by your local flower shop and pick up some of your favorites blossoms. February is a great time to start prepping for springtime, and what says springtime better than flowers?

5. Clean out your winter wardrobe.

Look back at all the things you did and didn't wear this past winter season. Start to slowly compile a list of the items you don't want anymore. If you live in a colder climate this is an opportunity to incorporate the clothing items you rediscovered before the cooler weather is gone!

6. Celebrate Valentine's Day.

It can be a romantic night out with your significant other, or you can go for less traditional evening. Maybe you even have a second "Galentine's" Day with your friends! Whatever you decide to do, spread some love around on February. We live in a world that could use a little more of that!

7. Set aside a study week.

It is likely you have your first round of exams this month. Set aside some time to dedicate strictly to your studies. It's no fun to cram the night before a test and it's been proven to be more beneficial to space out your study time. Create a schedule that works for you and don't procrastinate!

8. Bake something sweet.

Nobody can resistant some delicious cookies, homemade fudge, or ice cream! This would be a fun activity for your "Galentine's" Day party!

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.
