Being in a relationship during college definitely has its own unique benefits and struggles. WOne common trend though is a few *interesting* comments from other people. While a person may be coming from a good place, it could get old after a while.

1. "College isn't the right time for a relationship"

While being in a relationship during college may not be something you want, it says nothing about what I want. Just like being exclusive isn't for everyone, being involved in hookup culture isn't either. Also, sometimes the best relationship can start out of nowhere, so why judge someone for being a part of something that makes them happy? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and desires, but there's certainly a point where it just feels like plain judgment.

2. "Does your boyfriend let you go out?"

There are certainly a lot of things to unpack here. So first of all, a significant other should never be the final say in what their partner does, especially when they just want to have fun and enjoy themselves. I know that if I ever dated anyone that tried to control me, they would be gone in two seconds flat. Second, being in a relationship should never completely change how you live your life; single me loves going out with my friends, so why should I change myself just because I have a boyfriend?

3. "Are you going to hang out with your boyfriend?" whenever I have free time

While this seems like an innocent question, it can get a little annoying if everyone's first assumption is that I'm with my significant other when I have spare time. But no, that's not the case. I love my fair share of me time doing a face mask, watching movies, and napping. I make time for myself and the other amazing people in my life because they are just as important to me. Also, it makes me feel like I have to explain myself to everyone during the times when I do actually go to hang out with my boyfriend.

4. "You wouldn't know, you have a boyfriend"

Just because I'm in a relationship now doesn't mean I haven't experienced things with other people in the past. I could have some insight to offer about dating culture and people in general, and my relationship status doesn't dictate that.

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.
