Hey college students, Gossip Girl here. Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving break, but don't get too comfortable because the worst week of the semester is quickly approaching. Hope you're prepared because the stress and tensions are going to be at an all time high. Even if you don't love finals, you know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl.

1. Looking at the amount of work that needs to be done, and immediately doing something else to avoid it.

I can't study right now I have more important things to do. I have to finish this season. There's only like 14 episodes left. Also yesterday I noticed the microwave is dirty, I seriously have to clean that before I study. It's necessary.

2. Deciding to go out instead of studying for a cumulative final that is in two days.

If I stay in and study all I'm gonna do is watch my friends have fun on Snapchat. I'll be so upset; I can't do that to myself.

3. Stress eating at all times of the day.

Yes, this is my fifth time eating McDonalds today. Yes, I went to Target yesterday and bought six bags of chips, and yes, they're all gone already. I'm in a rough patch in my life, so please let me be.

4. Opening a notebook only to realize that skipping so many classes left a few holes in the notes.

Hmm... this page of my history notes is talking about WWI and the next page is about Obama... seems that I may have missed a few things here.

5. Trying to study and realizing the material is like a foreign language.

Maybe I should've paid attention in class instead of online shopping on my laptop the whole time.

6. Calculating the lowest grade possible to recieve on the final without dropping a letter grade.

Okay... so I need an 80 % to keep my B. That seems pretty steep, so maybe the professor will curve when I get a little lower.

7. Harassing professors via email for extra credit.

Ignoring my emails will not deter me; it will only cause me to email you 50 more times. Like I only need 27 more points for an A. I don't think I'm asking for much here.

8. Looking back at pictures from earlier in the semester when life was easy and fun.

Wow... I've almost forgotten how I look when I'm not seven cups of coffee deep and have slept more than three hours in the last three days.

9. Finding out that a final is cumulative.

I don't even remember what I ate for dinner yesterday how am I supposed to remember what I learned in August? Cumulative finals were invented by the devil I'm sure of it.

10. Saying goodbye to the professors who have made life a living hell for the semester.

Nice to see you professor. I see that you're alive and well even though you didn't respond to any of my 50 emails. I'll make sure to give you a fantastic rating on rate my professor.

11. Being done with finals, able go home, and do no school work for an entire month.

The stress is over and it's finally time to sleep, eat and Netflix life away in my own bed with my pet. This is what dreams are made of.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
