12 Reasons Why I'm Already Over Fall Semester
GA Lined

It's that time of year again; school is back in order, classes are beginning again, and routines are starting again.

Here are a few reasons why I'm already over fall semester:

1. Waking up early

Let's be real, if you like waking up early, you're part of that 1% of the world. The rest of us need an incorporation of both coffee and pop-tarts to properly wake up in the morning. Personally, I need a sign that says 'don't talk to me until this coffee is gone'.

2. Homework is back

Homework; the unnecessary extra work that is put along with being in class for over an hour. You either get too much of it or none of it, making you either extremely busy or super bored. There is no in between.

3. Stress levels are going to be a constant rise

We all know that as classes continue to get harder, your stress levels continue to rise. Not only this, but higher stress levels lead to nature's mean joke called zits.

4. The food sucks

Now, I don't know about your school's cafeteria, but to many they seem to only have delicious (maybe even edible) food when there are visitors. The other days are spent testing through trial and repeat to find the food that doesn't tear up your stomach.

5. Seeing 'those people' again

You know 'those people'. The ones that you could do without seeing, the ones that may get on your very last nerve. I've had those people that argue with other students in class for the sake of arguing, those people who like to yell in small spaces around campus, and most of all, those people that just rub you the wrong way.

6. Tests are a'coming

There is nowhere you can hide where tests won't find you. Just be praying that you'll have merciful professors. (PSA - the ones that have tenure are normally harder...)

7. Working out

Remember all those new work out clothes you bought before coming back to school? The promises you've made to yourself about actually using the school gym? The ones that probably won't come true?

8. Buying your own toilet paper

I cannot stress this enough. Buying your own toilet paper is like essentially infiltrating your childhood. When you start buying your own toilet paper, you are officially considered by society as an adult (aka the scariest thing in the world).

9. Hour long classes = Seemingly endless lectures

Not to mention even longer labs. I got lucky enough this year to have a class/lab combination that's three. hours. long.

10. Zits

Zits are something you can't hide from, somewhat like the tests. Zits come from stress, and you're surely going to be stressing this semester. It's inevitable.

11. You're broke

This is one of the worst ones. You went home for the summer, where you had free food, free gas, whatever your parents wanted to spoil you with. Then bam, you're back at school where you literally have $3 in your bank account and can't afford a burrito from Taco Bell from down the road.

12. Summer's gone

The summer vacations, Netflix binges on weekdays, and the overall 'taking it easy attitude' will be no more. You're back at school now, but most importantly, your back with your little family of friends. Make the most of it and have an awesome year!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
