The Week Before Move-In Day, As Told By Corinne Olympios

Target is basically your second home...

It's that time of year again, folks... And who better to describe the week before you move back to school than Corinne Olympios?

When you realize that you go back to school in a week

But then you also realize that you have approximately a million and one things to do in order to get ready

And you're trying to balance all of this on top of your insane summer job schedule

And someone has the nerve to ask if you've packed yet

But just when you think you've saved yourself from the stressful conversation, they just bring it up again


Eventually, you pull yourself together and head over to Target to check some things off your list

You load up your cart with unnecessary items because you're in denial of just how broke you actually are...

And then your mom yells at you when you start unloading the endless bags from your car

She also sarcastically asks you how you're going to survive on your own

"You're not going to blow all of your money on Target shopping sprees and takeout food, are you?!"

Then you decide you should probably do something about the massive accumulation of stuff that covers your bedroom floor

And you finally discover the most painless way to pack it all

While also discovering the most efficient coping mechanism for all the stress you're under

And after all that... you successfully fit it all into a few suitcases and a few (hundred) bags

Then, you remember that you get to go back to school and see your friends in just a few days

Happy September, ladies and gentlemen. Wishing you all the best of luck tackling this school year!

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.
