As told by a procrastinator.

The Undeniable Struggles of Packing and Moving Back to College
Info for Families

It's that time of year again! School is starting, you're buying books (hopefully) and it's time to pack up all your stuff and drag it all to your dorm. As a procrastinator, this is especially stressful for me. I know it's my fault, but it's still annoying to have to move all of those things into your room, am I right? These are the undeniable struggles of moving back to college.

1. You told yourself a month ago that you should start packing for school, but deep down inside, you know it's not going to happen.

2. Now it's a week before move-in day, and you are mildly freaking out.

3. It's the night before you move back, and you're screaming internally.


4. You start ripping your closet and drawers apart, hoping you don't forget to pack your favorite shirt.

5. Trying to pack all of your items in your car can become a little bit of a mess, but somehow you manage to fit it all in.

6. As soon as you get to school you realize how much work it's actually going to take to move everything into your room.

7. Dragging everything up a few flights of stairs is slowly killing you inside as you try to catch your breath.

8. Finally, everything is in! But you have to unpack it all and you're a little sad inside.

9. You tell yourself that you're going to be completely unpacked by the time the day is over, but a week has gone by and you're living out of the totes you packed your clothes in.

If you're a procrastinator too, hopefully this will really relate to you. Happy move-in everybody!

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.
