The First Day of Classes

The first week of classes is officially over and the semester is now officially underway. However, to me and everyone I've talked to in the last week, it seems like we've been in class for weeks. So here to lighten the mood and take your mind off of your new assignments and quizzes is the story of the first day of classes.

You wake up on the first day of classes, chipper and ready to face the day with a dazzling smile, but you realize the only way you can get through four classes in a row before two in the afternoon is by eating a healthy breakfast:

Once you've eaten everything in sight...no, really:

It's finally time to get ready for school. So you decide to make yourself look as good as possible and spend a ton of time getting ready for class. You may even shower. But either way, if you look like this:

Or like this:

No one is going to judge you, because they truly don't care. So after you've decided you're presentable enough for society, you head out the door and decide that it's nice enough outside to bike to class:

Once you finally make it to your first class, you sit down and look around for people you may know. Literally anyone to talk to in order to make it seem less awkward that you're now sweaty and gross from the physical exertion, as well as completely alone:

Once class starts, however, you remember that you're freedom has basically been taken away from you for the next fifteen weeks and you want to get out of there as soon as possible:

At the end of the day, when you finally walk into your room and realize it's over and you've survived the first day of class, you celebrate:

And then you take a seven hour long nap and wake up really confused:

Happy first week of classes!

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.
