In reference to Ross Gellar's quote... I feel you, man. Well, that winter break is over. No more work-free days or stress-free nights. No more fun with our friends from home or our beloved pets. It's time to get back to the grind and work, but that's always easier said than done. Spring semester here we come!

Here are 8 tips to get you back into school mode and set an efficient routine.

Get your supplies ready the day before classes

This will help prepare you for the next day. You won't have to worry about rushing and then ultimately forget something!

Get a desk calendar and USE IT

Plan out your months. It will make things easier in the long run.

Go to bed at a reasonable hour

Try not to pull all-nighters if you can avoid them. You need sleep to function!

Do not be afraid to ask for help

If you're struggling with classes, personal issues, or anything else, never hesitate to reach out for help.

Try not to procrastinate

I know it's tough, but at least try not to wait until the last minute to do everything.

Get organized

I've said it before and I'll say it again: organization is important. It's easier to stay organized if you start organized.

Focus in class

Pay attention and take detailed notes. Your future exam-taking self will thank you!

Self-care is still very important

Even though our school break is over, it's still super important to make time to do the things you love and relax.

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.
