When the month of May hits, many college students are free for the summer. Beach trips are planned, sleep is caught up on, and laying out by the pool becomes an everyday expectation. However, if your school doesn't get out until mid-May, I feel your pain. Here are thirteen things that I relate to as I study for finals and watch everyone have the time of their lives.

1. You physically cannot take another bite of dining hall food.

2. You’re dripping in sweat on the way to class and then the air conditioning freezes it onto your body once you get there.

3. ...or the AC completely stops working in your hundred-year-old dorm building.

4. All of your friends from high school are at the beach, and it’s all over their Snapchat stories.

5. Your friends from home have started planning pool trips in the group message, but you’ll be sitting in class hours away.

6. You’re staying up until 3 a.m. studying for finals, while your friends at home are staying up until 3 a.m. watching Netflix.

7. Because of these late night study sessions, your sleep deprivation is at an all-time high.

8. You have a sudden urge to jump into the lake or fountain every time you pass it.

9. You are forced to sit in class and watch a beautiful day pass by.

10. Athletic shorts are considered your everyday wear.

11. You haven’t opened Instagram in weeks because you know it’s just photo after photo of your friends on summer vacation.

12. You try to calculate what your grades would be if you just drove home and missed your finals.

13. On the last day of classes, your brain starts playing “What Time is It?” from “High School Musical 2” on repeat.

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.
