Hello. Welcome to my rant. After a week of stressful exams and dealing with people I don't want to deal with, I honestly can say that I am pretty much done with terrible people. Seriously, if I have to spend another hour listening to someone justifying their actions with a completely invalid reason, I am going to lock myself in my room and never speak to anyone ever again. Don't test me — I'll actually do it.

Here are nine terrible people that I have encountered in the last three semesters of college that should be avoided at all costs if you want to keep your sanity.

1. The person who does the bare minimum in their classes, but claims they’re going to get a good job because they “have connections.”

We all know this person. The "my dad is friends with the senator" kind of person. Some of us work as hard as we can and still get rejected for the people with "connections," and we don't want to hear about where your "connections" can get you.

2. That person that doesn’t understand that professors and TAs won’t cater to their personal needs on every single assignment.

Sorry you didn't get that extension that you asked for 6 hours before the paper is due.

3. The person who only shows up on exam day, and gets mad when they don’t get a good grade.

AND THEY PROBABLY TOOK YOUR SEAT, TOO.

4. The person who waits until the last minute to do work and tries to buy Adderall off of their friends with prescriptions.

Yes, because $5 will compensate for the medication that that person needs to function, just so your lazy ass can write the paper you've had 2 weeks to write.

5. The person who thinks it’s okay to talk on the phone in the library.

It could be just me, but I thought libraries were supposed to be quiet?

6. The person who takes your idea and uses it as their own in a group presentation.

And leaves you with nothing to talk about, making you look bad.

7. The people who make you question whether they were raised by humans.

No hate for "personal style", OK? I dig the people who wear Crocs ironically. I'm talking about the people who have NO IDEA that it's not okay to play music at 3 a.m. when their sleeping roommate has an exam at 8 a.m. the next day.

8. The people who give advice that they have never once followed, and probably never will follow.

Don't think I don't know you don't follow your own advice. Telling other people not to overreact? Then don't make faces when other people disagree with you.

9. The people who agree with everyone about everything, and therefore contradict themselves 40 times a day.

You can't think that Ryan the Frat Boy is both perfect husband material AND a sleaze-ball. Nice try.

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.
