With all of the stress that comes with college, the semester can feel like it may never end. We may have started the semester off strong, but here we are 7 weeks in and ready for winter break.

Here are 10 thoughts every college kid is thinking at this point in the semester:

1. "Can I please drop out?"

Do I really need this whole college thing? I don't need a career. I'll just live on mac'n'cheese and in my parents house the rest of my life.

2. "I'm broke."

I really want sushi tonight, but my bank account says I can't even afford McDonald's. Mom and Dad are officially tired of sending me money, and I suppose I'm on my own now and selling plasma!

3. "Please hire me!!"

I'm tired of updating my LinkedIn and tailoring my resumes. Please just hire me, I swear I'm qualified. What do you mean I need 2+ years of experience for an entry-level job? I JUST GRADUATED.

4. "I thought this class was supposed to be easy..."

BiSci 4? Easy right? Wait, how did I just fail the exam?! "You HAVE to take this gen-ed, I swear it's the dumbest and easiest thing." WRONG.

5. "When can I go home?"

When can I see my dog again? I want to hug my mom. Can I leave this weekend? Just kidding. I can't leave, too many exams and can't afford gas!

6. "My liver is shot."

My liver is black, I don't think I'm supposed to feel this way. My weekend long benders are out of control. I bounced back a heck of a lot faster when I was a freshman.

7. "Everything hurts and I'm dying."

My head hurts, my back hurts, I feel hungover simply from sleeping, I can't fall asleep without melatonin anymore, I can't find time to sleep. OUCH!

8. "Oh no its happening...the plague!"

God, I love waking up and feeling like a prickly ball is stuck in my throat and having a 102 fever. My, oh my, the Penn State plague is great. Or is it meningitis?

9. "Sleep, social life, and grades. Pick 2."

Let's go out tonight. Cheryl, it's a Monday night... get your shit together. Crap, I have 4 exams this week. Eh, let's go out tonight anyway. *gets home at 3 A.M. from the library* It's OK, I didn't want to sleep anyway. :)

10. "I need a 36 hour day. Or a 3 day weekend."

I have 4 meetings, 3 assignments, 4 classes, 2 papers, and a quiz all due tonight. JUST NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY!

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.
