Ten Things Summer Classes Taught Me

We have all been there: the dreaded summer semesters. No choice but to sign up and subject yourself to the torment. I've been lucky enough to avoid summer classes up until this summer when I had to take Anatomy & Physiology 2. And let me enlighten you with what you'll actually learn.

1. First day of summer classes is like the nicest day of the year, and they expect you to listen to a three-hour lecture about the nervous system. Then suddenly as your daydream of being poolside ends you realize you missed 6 pages of notes...



2. The exhaustion from the spring semester just carries over to the summer semester. And all you wanna do is sleep all day long and ignore adult responsibilities.



3. When friends call with vacation plans and you have to say no because you have an exam, you're just like

4. Studying for summer classes is a lot like being blackout drunk, waking up with your shoes on the wrong feet and your pants on backward.



5. The shortened semester makes for a faster moving class and a high blood pressure.



6. You realize in a few weeks that nothing has ever prepared you for this torture.



7. You become cynical and grumpy 99.9% of the time when you are in class and out of class. Constantly thinking to yourself, "Will this EVER end?"



8. When your friends try to understand your pain by comparing it to their summer jobs. Ahhh, at least you can leave and not do floor sets at your house. I'd take your summer job over this class any day.



9. Final exam time, almost home free. You crack open your notes and suddenly realize you have not a clue what language you're even reading. Then you bust out the calculator to figure out what is the lowest possible score you can get on the final and still pass.



10. Exams are in, grades posted. You passed and now you're like



Now you can take on the last three weeks of summer break before you have to go back and do it all over again. Yeah, I'm just a little bit bitter.

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.
