1. Excitement

YAY YAY YAY YAY I get to see all of my friends again. I can't wait to see all of my buddies. I can't wait to do things with them. I miss them so much.

2. Refusal

Wait. This was a mistake. I don't want to be back. Can I get a pause button for life? I can't. I need another break.

3. Confidence

Okay. I can do this. We're in the last stretch of the race. I've made it this far. I can't die now.

4. Concern

Trying to get through classes and homework without crying is not as easy as it sounds. I don't think I can do this. This is painful.

5. Anxiety

Three papers, two exams, and twelve homework assignments??? Sure, keep the work coming. It's fine. I'm not drowning in school work or anything.

6. Nostalgia

Summer where are you?? I miss the days where I could just lay in the sand, bask in the sun, and not worry about what the tenth derivative of a natural logarithm is.

7. Contemplation

So if I drop out of school now... how many years would I have to survive on my own before I marry rich? That's the new plan: marry rich. I'll be fine. Right?

8. Acceptance

Life is good. I'm almost done with the semester. The hard part is almost over. Just a few more weeks and I'll have three months to relax and not have the weight of a full time student on my shoulders.

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.
