We've all been there, just relaxing without a care in the world. There's a blissful sense of freedom to watch Netflix or read a book you've had on your shelf for months. It's all so beautiful to be commitment free and it happens. You realize you messed up some dates in your planner or just forgot that you even owned a planner. No matter how it happens, now you're stuck not knowing where the time went you're flying around trying to get every piece of homework you had neglected done before the due date!

1. It's a weekday evening, you're laying on the couch just snacking and surfing through Netflix when it happens: the sinking feeling that you've got something due.

2. You fly off the couch with mutant like speed to find your syllabus and see it in sickening black ink. In the next 48 hours, you have three papers, two exams and a group project due.

3. You start to curse your professor because HOW DARE THEY ASSIGN SO MUCH WORK?

Don't they know you have other classes and a social life? (Never mind the fact this was assigned a month ago).

4. Then, you set off to do what took others a month in one night.

Prepare the coffee and the tears!

5. Halfway through you're about ready to give up, drop out, and become a stripper.

Who needs a college degree?

6. You decide that you've done so much fantastic (subpar) work that you deserve a break.

7. Finally, as the sun rises your perfect example of procrastination is complete and ready to turn in.

You feel deliriously sleepy and insanely proud of yourself.

8. You promise yourself that you'll keep a better to do list and check your syllabus regularly.

You never want to have to pull an all-nighter like that again.

9. But then...that sinking feeling...again.

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.
