1. The “Golden” Teacher

This teacher has his/her curriculum planned out months beforehand. Whether it's magic cards to organize papers or specific dots to have desks in perfect order, this person has all the tricks. Never second guesses him or herself and truly cares for students. Questionably a robot. By the end of the year, you will realize that he/she was really inspirational all along.

2. Great person, terrible teacher

You try to see the best in this teacher because he/she is a really nice person, but you have to admit they’re a pretty terrible teacher. You can’t seem to understand formulas or homework, but you definitely understand stories about his/her love life.

3. Fresh-out-of-college

This teacher uses new technology efficiently, unlike some teachers. May be so cool to show you videos of Lady Gaga performances on YouTube. You can’t help to think that this teacher is almost the same age as you.

4. The Dictator


This teacher is genuinely nice, but has about 80 percent of your graduating class convinced that he/she is the greatest person ever. If you plan on taking this class, tread lightly; you may become one of them.

5. The BFF

This is the teacher (or three) that you will remember the most out of high school. Your class period? All of them. That classroom feels like home. This teacher knows you so well that he/she is personally offended when not in the loop of your gossip. Don’t lose grip of him/her.

6. The Legend

This teacher has most likely taught at least one of your siblings. Everyone gives this teacher more respect than the principal. Has a glowing reputation as well as personality. Everyone knows him/her no matter if they had taken his/her class or not.

7. All-around hated

You may find yourself still wondering how this person still hasn’t been fired. If the principal can’t see how terrible he/she is, then he might need to get his license taken away. The tears of students are the only way to hydrate this person. 0/10 would recommend.

8. The Easy A

Admit it: with your effort, you didn’t deserve to pass this class. Forgot an assignment or 13? Magically disappears from the grade book. This teacher knows you can do better and helps you out throughout the year, no matter how many times your “great grandmother died” or you “had a dentist appointment.”

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.

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.
