To The Girl Who Chooses Grades Over Partying

Don't listen to them, do you.

To The Girl Who Chooses Grades Over Partying
The Huffington Post UK

People may judge you for choosing to start that paper early on a Friday night instead of going out , but don’t listen to them, do you.

Your parents did not pay a huge amount of money for your education, just to go out every weekend, skip class, and not care about your grades. That’s just nonsense, not everyone gets to have an education, so the fact that you value your education, study hard, and apply yourself is not something to be ashamed of.

Now I am not saying stay in your room and study all day long. No, enjoy the college life, embrace it. Enjoy the young life and everything it has to offer. However, make sure that assignment is done before going out. Prioritize.

Never second guess yourself because you are the responsible college student that you are. In the end, it will all pay off. Everyone is proud of you because you are the focused, smart individual that you are and not the basic college girl that everyone hooks up with.

If boys overlook you because you’re focused and have goals to achieve, then that is their loss. You are trying to get somewhere and do something with your life; you don’t have time for them to hold you back. Do you. I know you may feel intimidated by the girl who gets all the athletes, but does she know the difference between, there, their, and they’re; what do her grades look like; does she have goals. Don’t get mixed in what other people do. Do you.

So, continue to study hard for that test, continue to worry about achieving that high GPA, continue to achieve your goals and set the bar high. Let them sleep while you grind. Let them grind while you work. The difference will show.

You good, you poppin’.

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.
