To All Of My Stressed College Homies

Stressed, depressed, and not well dressed.

It's so easy to quickly become overwhelmed in college. A failed exam, a 1,000 word paper you haven't even started, and trying to get literally every single grade up just a tad more so finals won't ruin you, just seems to fall on you all at once. You think about 15 times a day, Why did I think college was a good idea? I literally have to convince myself every morning, at approximately 7:45, college is a good idea.

I wanted to let all you sweet, little broke college kids know that you are doing amazing, along with myself. Keep pushing even when you feel like it is impossible. It's very possible, and you can do it. Just look at every successful person out there with a degree. They will tell you it is worth it, and you are very much capable of it all.

I also want to tell you, it doesn't happen in a day. Your grade may drop from an 87 to a 79 in a day, but a degree isn't accomplished in a day. Day after day, semester after semester, it will arrive. You will put on a cap and gown, and walk out of that place with a diploma in your hand, and a big, goofy smile on your face, and say to yourself, you did it.

So push a little harder, and one day you will be there, you will be the person you always wanted to be. Don't beat yourself up too much right now, because you're amazing, and above all, a broke, stressed college student. *Drops the mic*

Side note: Just a quick thank you to the professors that literally are the best. Thank you for canceling that class so that I can finish a paper. Thank you for giving us a take home exam since we all screwed up the first one. And thank you for letting me have a love/hate relationship with you. Much Love.

One more thing, inhale, exhale. Now, have a good 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.
