75 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go Back To School This Fall
IGN

I know I'm not the only one that's not excited to go back to school this semester, unless you're in elementary school and the first day of school is more exciting than it is stressful. Sadly, most of you reading this are far beyond the stage of being excited about school, and with the piles of homework you receive every night, who would be excited to go back to what could basically be defined as torture? Instead of getting prepared for the upcoming semester, I've decided to make a list of things I would rather do than go to school. Without further adieu (and in no particular order), here are some things I would rather do than go back to school this 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.

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.
