College seems to be a place for us all to become grownups — for us all to leave behind those embarrassing elementary and middle school phases of silly bandz, pads sticking out of our back pocket, going goth for a week...all the good stuff.

And yet — YET — we seem to actually enter a new realm of embarrassing moments. That realm is called: Awkwardness.

The following ten moments are all experiences we inevitably share in our college career:

1. Giving everyone a lap-dance as you try to get to the middle seat of a full row.

2. Slipping hardcore on the street while alone so there is no friend to act as a buffer.

3. Constantly bumping into someone you've hooked up with and never talked to again

4. When you lie about where you're going one night and drunkenly post on your Snap story that you're having the time of your life. You now owe a certain someone an explanation. 

5. Thinking someone likes you because they're the first person who has been super nice to you and compliments you...and they had no idea they were leading you on.

6. A stranger waves to you on your way to class and you wave back to be nice only to realize they were waving at the person behind you.

7. There's a long line and when it's your turn to pay, suddenly you're fumbling around for your ID and you feel the hatred in people's eyes boring into your back.

8. You're walking back from some guy's/girl's dorm at 11 in the morning, sporting your full-on party-wear...and bump into literally everyone you know.

9. You check out your Snap story the morning after a lit night and CRINGE at what your drunk self decided was a good thing to post.

10. You are falling asleep in class to the point of having hypnotic jerks and entering REM sleep...and this was the day you decided to sit front row so your professor has a fantastic view of all of this.

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.
