The First Week of the Semester: As Told By Ted Mosby and Barney Stinson

The First Week of the Semester: As Told By Ted Mosby and Barney Stinson

After a very "legen... wait for it ...dary" holiday break, the last thing you wanted to do was start classes. Trust me, I feel you on that. At least the first week back (aka syllabus week) wasn't too terribly strenuous.

Arriving back on campus.

It was all fun and games until you realized that moving back in is basically "move in day part two". Everyone and their mother has their cars parked in front of your dorm building. No princess parking for you, my dear. Greeaaaaat.

Catching up with your friends that you haven't seen in the longest.

"So how was break?"

"Good and yours?"

"Good."

"Cool, let's get dinner"

"Okay"

Remembering that you left something really important at home.

Like your phone charger or favorite pair of earrings.

Getting that "can we share a book this semester?" text from someone you left in 2015.

Um, no thanks.

Hearing one of your professors say they "don't give out A's".

We'll see about that.

Stressing out because your professor actually started chapter one on the first day instead of reviewing the syllabus.

I didn't even bring my pen.

Realizing that the first week is already over - and praying that the remainder of the semester goes by just as fast.

Graduation, where ya at?

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.
