A Day In The Life Of A UK Student

8:00 a.m.

You hear your alarm, hit snooze, and then goes back to sleep.

8:53 a.m.

Jumps out of bed, realizes that you probably won't make it to your 9:00 a.m. and considers crawling back under the sheets. Then realizes that you've already used your one excused absence for the semester. Grabs jacket and backpack and leaves dorm in pajamas, hoping no one will notice.

9:02 a.m.

You're about to walk into the class, already knowing you're two minutes late. Absolutely dreading the stares you'll get as you open the loud door and walk into the the 100+ student lecture. You panic because you can't find a seat right away, so you aimlessly walk down the isle until one catches your eye. You sit down, and someone already comments on your pajamas. But you don't care, because you're comfy and still half asleep.

12:00 p.m.

You're finished with your classes for the day and you go to the 90 to get lunch. You tell yourself that you are going to eat something different today. But, you walk in and naturally go and get the same turkey sandwich as you do every day.

12:36 p.m

And you're already crashing. Watching Netflix last night until 3 a.m. suddenly wasn't such a good idea. You need a midday pick-me-up so you head over to Willy T Starbucks to grab a quick drink.

12:45 p.m.

You make it to Starbucks but see that the line is a mile long. You contemplate leaving, but the coffee smells too good. While standing in line, you can't help but to get frustrated because all you want is a regular coffee, and you hear everyone else ordering their non-fat, no whip, venti white chocolate mochas with soy milk. No wonder the line takes so long.

1:23 p.m.

You grab your coffee and go find your friends who are sitting in the library. You have a ton of homework due tonight, so you want to get as much as you can done now.

2:00 p.m.

You have accomplished nothing at the library because you and your friends have been talking about what to do for Spring Break. Suddenly, you trap yourself into getting on Pinterest. You accept the fact that you will get nothing done right now.

2:45 p.m

Now that you've procrastinated enough, and you're somewhat awake, you decide you really need to do homework. You say bye to your friends and head back to your dorm.

3:10 p.m

You get back to your dorm and see that your roommate is heading to the gym. For a moment, you feel as if you should go, since you haven't gone all semester. But, then you remember that it takes a lot of effort to get there. So, you lay down on your bed for a super quick power nap.

7:00 p.m

Randomly, you wake up very confused and slightly unsure what day it is. Your super quick power nap turned into a 4-hour slumber. Though it was a much-needed nap, you really need to get yourself together and do your homework.

9:17 p.m

You finally have done a decent amount of homework. You head over to Red Bang Bang and get your quality $3 feast.

10:25 p.m

You get back to your dorm and hang out with your floor-mates. Everyone is pigging out on ice-cream and leftover pizza while telling stories from the weekend before.

12:00 a.m.

Time got away from you and your floor-mates, you crawl back into your bed and attempt to fall asleep.

12:03 a.m.

You're wide awake and not falling asleep anytime soon. Mad Mush cheese-sticks sound too good.

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.
