You do not want to ditch.

Though Classes are Important...
wikipedia

...and skipping them should not even cross your mind, you cannot help but wonder "what if."

What if you skipped that class at 10 o'clock to sit outside and drink a coffee and just enjoy the morning? What if you sat down around campus and admire the view of the leaves changing color during this season?

Though classes are important, sometimes you need to take a breather and relax.

My classes this semester are pulling me downhill. With assignment after assignment, a breather is all I ever need. This is not including work, of course. With working 15 hours every week, not including when I have to come in for someone who cannot work that day, along with my homework, I need a break.

This semester alone, I have had eight anxiety attacks, and have had to miss class just because of these.

Though classes are important, so is health. So is relaxation. So is friendships, relationships. All of these thins are important. But sometimes, a girl just needs a break from it all. Sometimes drinking coffee and skipping class is not enough. Even though sitting and watching people walk around campus; watching them laugh at a funny text they got or at a funny joke their friend said to them. They are having a great day; they look like their life is together.

Though classes are important, you yourself are important too. Take a break if you need one. Your classes can wait. Your mental health cannot.

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.
