Library Struggles Every College Student Will Understand

Are you really a college student if you don't stay up all night studying in your pajamas?

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

1. You get there and immediately look for a place to sit and all the tables are full.

Looks like a sign that I just shouldn't even be here to begin with. I think I'll just go home.

2. You finally find a place to sit, and you look at your assignment.

I honestly do not care about any of this. I do not want to be here right now.

3. Are you really a college student if you don't stay up all night studying in your pajamas?

You did not want to put any effort into your outfit. Every ounce of motivation you have is towards the assignment that's due at midnight. You are not going to be bothered by your clothes.

4. When someone walks in wearing normal clothes and you're in your pajamas.

It's the library not a fashion show. You have no one to impress. Do you not see everyone else here in their comfy clothes? Do less.

5. When random people come up to you and ask you to take their surveys.

No, thank you. I'm kind of busy doing my own work at the moment. I do not have time for you.

6. There's always this really loud group of people in the corner who are clearly not studying.

You are so loud I can't even concentrate. Please take your giggly chit-chat outside.

7. I think I need a study break!

I physically cannot function anymore. I need a break. Coffee, anyone?

8. When your friend isn't done studying, but you want to leave.

I won't make it any longer. I can't go on. Please let me out of here.

9. When you send in your assignment one minute before it's due.

You are the queen of the world at this point. You knew you could pull it off this whole time. No stress.

10. Then you realize you forgot an assignment that's due tomorrow.

It's 2 a.m. at this point. You know what? It's not even worth killing myself over. I'll just fail. It's no big deal. It's only one grade!

11. When you finally leave!

Mom? Dad? Friends? Sunlight? This is all so overwhelming!

12. When you find out that the friend you studied with all night passed and you failed.

I thought we were in this together. Does our friendship mean nothing to you?

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.
