Your College Grades Aren't The End Of The World

They may seem like it, but they will never compare to your happiness.

We have all been there one time or another. The stress and constant battle of trying to get that one grade up. But, is it worth shattering your mental health for?

Sure, you have worked really hard. That one professor just doesn't understand and isn't cutting you any slack.

When you are crying over the exam that you need to pass the class, stressing over the 30 point quiz, or having a panic attack about the project due at midnight, remember to breathe.

Your college grades do not define your worth or who you are. You will grow up and get married, have a yard with little kids, and you will be happy. It is what you make of it.

You will have a job and you will support your loved ones.

I know in this moment right here right now it seems like the end of the world if you get a C on an assignment. It is not just a piece of paper, it does show your hard work and dedication to your academics. Although, it does not define your life.

I am someone who needs to remind myself of this 24/7 in order to function weekly.

When you are feeling like it is the end of the world due to college stress, take a minute for yourself. Go to Chick Fil A, hangout with your friends down the hall, color in your coloring book, watch your favorite TV show. You know yourself better than anyone else.

Never let your academics try to define who you are. You got this.

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.
