Months of studying, complaining about the cold, and stressing have led to this moment...It's finally summer break. It's the break that all college students have waited for anxiously.

Here's how your summer will probably go:

1. Being home after a long, hard semester

School's out and you're finally home! There's so much to do: beach days, meeting all your friends, hanging out and eating all the ice cream you can... this is going to be YOUR summer.

2. Eating mama's homemade food (not that gross dining hall stuff)

First up is the good food. After almost a year of eating boring, gross dining hall food there's finally real, home cooked meals and you couldn't be more excited.

3. Reuniting with hometown friends

Nothing feels better than reuniting with high school friends. After almost an entire year of not seeing them, it feels good to be able to sit down, in person, and have a couple of good laughs again.

4. Being bored because your friends have lives

Everything was great... for like a week. Now everyone's moved on to their summer jobs, internships, and classes so you're all alone curled up in a ball watching Netflix.

5. That summer heat that makes you sweat endlessly

When the summer heat finally hits, you find yourself wondering why you ever wanted it to be warm. You will probably find yourself trying to do just about anything to keep yourself cool, even sticking yourself in the fridge.

6. Realizing that you actually miss college

Has the summer heat driven you a little crazy or are you actually starting to miss college? It's not that you miss the stress but you miss the schedule, the having something to do, the 1 a.m. chats with friends.

7. When the new semester starts soon and you know how much work you'll have

But no matter what how bored you become, you are still shocked and a little sad when you realize school will be starting again in a couple of weeks.

Even if your summer is somewhat similar to this, be appreciative for the break and time to relax because before you know if you'll be heading back to school and wishing you were on break all over again.

Have a good summer everyone!

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.
