In This Article:

Fall semester is right around the corner. Whether your summer involved being home, camp, a trip abroad, or an internship, we are all leaving something behind. It is hard to have such a routine for nearly three months and adjust to going back to school. But, once we leave our summer behind, we have the promise of a new school year to look forward to. Here are 10 thoughts we all have before going back up to school.

1. OMG how am I expected to do school work.

You have had a long break from a full semester of classes. It will definitely be an adjustment.

2. I'm leaving my parents again.

This thought brings mixed emotions. On one hand, you are so excited to have your freedom back. On the other hand, you know you will really miss your parents and all that they do for you.

3. Ugh, how am I ever going to leave?!

Whether you are coming from camp, a trip abroad, or wherever you spent your summer, you can't imagine leaving right now. This place has grown so comfortable for so long.

4. Tailgate season is so soon.

You have been waiting all year for this.

5. How am I going to go out?!

Going out at school takes a lot of energy. It is crazy and sweaty, and you don't know how your body will be able to handle it.

6. I'm not ready for real life.

The end of a summer marks that you are that much closer to real life. Approaching another year of school means that you have to start figuring out what your plan is.

7. New year, new me.

Before every school year starts, we all have an idea of who we want to be heading into the new year. There are always aspirations of working out, eating clean, or developing better study habits. Hopefully, we can actually follow through with these ideas this year.

8. Do I have to meet new people?

A new school year brings new people, whether they join your sorority or you have a class with them. It is time to practice your social skills and put yourself out there.

9. Okay, here we go.

Going back to school is inevitable, and you prepare the best way you can. Just make the best out of it and enjoy the year!

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.
