  1. Reading the assignment and realizing that you have no idea where to begin. After reading it a couple of times you still are confused. Then you turn to your fellow classmates to help decipher the assignment.

2. After consulting the calendar you strategically plan the latest day you can start the paper and hand it in on time. Even if you promise yourself to outline out it in stages, it ever works out.

3. You leave the assignment in a folder in your desk. It gets forgotten about for some time, as you hope it you will magically come up with a genius idea.

4.During one class, your professor reminds you that there is two weeks before the paper is due. In a panic, you realize you need to get on that.

5. That night you take out the folder. You start figuring out an outline and theme for the paper. You do your research and think that is a good start. Then, you succumb to the desire to sleep.

6. The next day you wake up prepared to be productive. You turn on your computer, drink some coffee and start writing.


7. About an hour into it, the internet distracts you. Your start to jam out to some Demi Lovato jams and get lost in Buzzfeed articles.

8. Startled, you try to get back on task knowing that you need to turn in a stellar paper.

9. Finally it is finished and you save the document. Excited you spend the rest of the night staying up with your fiends watching TV or hanging out.

10. The day it is due you realize 10 minute before class the paper is still not printed. In a rush you run to the computer lounge to print the document. You run and barley make it to class on time.

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.
