The Proper Way To Pull An All-Nighter

The Proper Way To Pull An All-Nighter

Step 1.

Coffee.

Step 2.

Find your perfect spot to settle down at in the library or your favorite study spot.

Step 3.

Have friends who are at least somewhat night owls to study with, close by. It’s an added bonus if you all are actually studying the same subject.

Step 4.

Have your planner open at all times so you can attempt to keep up with what assignments you should be completing.

Step 5.

Make sure you take breaks every so often to revive your senses and contact the outside world. Walk a lap around the library, text some friends, check Twitter, or take a power nap. Just take a break!

Step 6.

More caffeine.

Step 7.

Go a little bit delusional because at this point most everyone, including your friends, has left the library, and you’ve been studying for an impressively long period of time.

Step 8.

Now’s a big push to try to finish what work you started when you were actually focused.

Step 9.

Don’t let yourself get distracted by social media, especially since the new Snapchat update is slightly addictive.

(I'm ashamed that is actually me.)

Step 10.

Complete your work, go home, and try to get as much sleep as possible before class the next day. And I know, any sleep means the night doesn’t qualify as an all-nighter, but we need it. College is hard.

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.
