It's that time of year again! We have (finally) returned from winter break, being reunited with our friends and unfortunately, a new class schedule. But it's okay because although we are back at school filled with assignments and tests, we are also back with our friends who are filled with good times and bad decisions. Syllabus week is the kick start of the semester, classes are short and at times meaningless; however, the nights are long and the happiest time of the semester. So soak up these next couple of days and enjoy your one and only completely stress-free week by indulging these 10 things that are only acceptable during syllabus week.

1. Going out on the Sunday before classes start, even if the bars close before midnight.

2. Bringing nothing but coffee and a hangover to class on Monday.


3. Walking into the wrong classroom even though you are a junior.

4. Changing seats after the first class.

5. Openly talk about yourself to your class when your professor makes an effort to get to know you.

6. Going out six nights in a row because why not? You know you will never get the chance to again.

7. Eat out at all of your favorite places because you still have some leftover Christmas money.

8. Nap as much as possible so you can stay out all night.

9. Bring your dog to class and see if you can get away with it.

10. Skip the class you know you won't be able to for the rest of the semester.

Remember to enjoy these ten things this week as you know they won’t be around long before you are drowning in responsibilities and school work.

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.
