The Basics Of Syllabus Week As Told By Amy Poehler

One of the best weeks of the school year is Syllabus Week, where every student thinks that they will get out of class early and it'll be a breeze. Occasionally you get that one teacher that will never make it an easy week for you. Hold onto the horns, because sometimes it can be a rocky road ahead for the semester. Get ready for either a page long syllabus or a packet!

1. When the teacher starts syllabus day with, "We will never stay the whole entire class period."

Unfortunately, this can be rare from a college professor. Depending on how many times you have this class a week, your section can get ahead. So listen carefully for that one student to ask the question about staying in class.

2. Realizing that a stranger took the seat next to your best friend.

In this situation, there is nothing to do but sit in front or behind your friend. Make sure to get there early next class if there aren't assigned seats!

3. Running into everyone after summer.

If you stayed at your school over summer, there were probably not as many people walking around campus as there are during syllabus week. Seeing your best friends for the first time in months while making new ones!

4. Seeing your new crush from across the campus courtyard.

New semester = new students, and there will be a lot of activities on campus, so show some school spirit. Who knows, you might find your new crush!

5. Finding a spot on campus to park is impossible, so realistically you park illegally somewhere.

Campus safety loves to give out tickets to students who park illegally. Rumors have been spread that they make the most money off their ticket giving during syllabus week.

6. And then it's the weekend, because you didn't act like the whole syllabus week was already.

Go have fun before the weeks get more tough!

7. Realizing that it might be Friday, but on Monday you have a quiz on the syllabus.

Don't worry; it is only on the syllabus. Most of the quizzes ask about the integrity and teachers policies. Good luck with the semester!

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.
