It's not that big of a deal.

I don't know about you, but I feel like I haven't even started this semester yet. It's going by so fast I keep forgetting what I've learned in my classes, and that's not good considering I've got midterms, and eventually finals. But I have nothing to worry about because I remember these x reasons why midterms aren't as stressful as we all make it out to be.

1. Your grade can still recover.

I mean, I failed my Computer Science midterm and still managed to drag my grade from the depths of hell to a C+. Try not to fail your midterm, but don't be worried if you do end up getting a bad grade. There is plenty of time to bring it up.

2. Your life goes on.

It is just a small part of your life. It's so minuscule to what you plan to do, it shouldn't even be a concern of yours. If you know the information, you know it. If not, work on it. It isn't the most important thing on your plate.

3. Still take it seriously.

Don't let a midterm stress you but don't let it mess you up either. If you have the time to study and the resources to do it there is no reason why you shouldn't pass.

4. Your professor is there for a reason, and so are the tutors. Utilize them.

You pay upwards of $18,000 for a food, housing, an education, and all the tutors and professor's time. If you aren't going to them you aren't using your money right.

5. This isn't the end.

At this point, we all know the midterm isn't as bad as the final. And between both of them are many more tests and quizzes. This is just a friendly reminder to stay on top of things, study hard, and don't let sleep deprivation rule you.

Good luck with your midterms!

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.
