Summer classes can be a great to fit in extra course and getting ahead in school. Taking them online really can give you the advantage of going home for the summer, working, and still getting in your course work. But it is not without it's problems. Here are 8 thoughts people have while taking summer classes.

1. "I can totally do this."

You start off with the motivation of an Olympian. You are taking these classes for your benefit and you are excited to get a leg up

2. "This isn't hard at all."

You've heard people complain about summer classes, but you're a week in and this feels like a cake walk and you're wondering why everyone doesn't do this.

3. "Wait, it's due when?"

These classes seem to be getting out of hand. You're still doing fine though. You are totally still doing fine...

4. "HOW DOES ANYONE DO THIS?"

You have 3 assignments due this week, a paper, and an exam to study for. Not to mention all the work that goes into it...

5. "What have I done to deserve this?"

Suddenly, it is all too much. You have taken on too much and now you don't want to do anything and you are wondering if any of it is worth it.

6. "Do I even need to stay in college?"

You begin to really wonder how different your life would be without all this school. You begin to really think you could make it in this world without a college degree.

7. " I can do this. I have to be able to do this."

You begin to put your head to the grindstone and try so hard. You will not fail. You cannot fail.

8. "I have survived this, and I am better for it."

It's over. You did it. You will never do it again, but you did it now. Summer classes are done and you can breathe for another few days before going back to school to start regular classes.

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.
