1. Oh, this nice

first, you're just enjoying your last day of relaxation, soaking up the final precious moments of freedom while you can, right?

2. Uh Oh

Then reality hits. I mean, you knew that school starts tomorrow, but now you really, truly know that school is starting tomorrow.

3. Maybe if I ignore it, it will go away

Time to repress reality and continue relaxing for a couple more hours! Unfortunately, ignoring the fact that school begins tomorrow won't actually keep it from happening.

4. My relaxation is TAINTED

Except now that you've remembered that school is starting tomorrow, relaxing doesn't exactly have the same happiness to it. It's been tainted with the knowledge that these are your last few hours of freedom, and they're slowly slipping through your hands.

5. Fine, time to face the music

Finally, you decide to just embrace the fleeting quality of spring breaks and accept the fact that school begins tomorrow. After denying it for so long, this stage may be difficult to go through. Reality hits hard.

6. I'm not prepared!!

You've just now realized that you are in NO WAY prepared for tomorrow. Mentally, physically, academically... And speaking of academically:

7. Shoot, I had homework

You had a whole week to work on your homework. You swore to yourself you'd finish it all the first few days of spring break. Or, even better, you'd actually work on that 10-page essay the way teachers recommend, with a little bit accomplished each day. But did you actually do that? No, you didn't, did you? And now you're in the academic sprint of shame.

8. When's the next break?

Halfway through homework, you run out of steam and scour your school's academic calendar for a hint of hope. If you're lucky, you'll get at least a 3-day weekend for Easter. If you're not, say sayanara to scuba-diving until summer!

9. I can do this

In the absence of upcoming breaks, you desperately try to enact some positive self-talk, convincing yourself that you can do this. You can finish a week's worth of homework in one evening! You can make it until summer without another break! You can finish this semester with a 4.0! You can!

And finally...

10. I need another spring break

After you've finished your homework, moved back into your dorm, picked out your outfit for tomorrow, and done anything else you need to do to prepare for the day ahead, you're exhausted. Who can blame you for needing another break?

Good luck to everyone heading back to school after a much-needed spring break! Remember: you CAN do this!

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.
