To all my single girls out there.

10 Fears You Have When You're Single In College
Kaylin Morris

Being single in college can be a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is, your single in college. The bad thing is...

1. You are only in your prime once.

I’m already comparing myself to my eighteen-year-old, skinny, full of energy self that I wish I could go back to.

2. All the family questions at the holidays.

It’s bad enough that my mother is asking where my future hubby is because trust me, I’d like to meet him too. But then the cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents start asking too, and it is not a fun conversation.

3. Where else are you going to get your XL t-shirts?

People would judge me if I bought XL t-shirts for myself, so obviously I have to get them somehow because what girl doesn’t love wearing an oversized t-shirt that you didn’t even have to pay for?

4. Never having a cuddle buddy.

Everyone loves to cuddle, and sometimes snuggling with my dog just doesn't cut it.

5. Comparing everyone to your ex.

I don't want to be wondering if I am every going to find someone better than my high school sweetheart.

6. Online dating.

If I had to guess, I’m not going to find my future hubby on Bumble or Tinder…but I don’t want to have to find him on match.com either

7. Cute couple photos.

When I see my friends and their boyfriends on insta taking photos, I get jealous. I want to post instagram photos with a cute guy with a couple-y pose, and an annoying caption about how much I love my #mcm.

8. Doing the deed.

At what point do you know when it’s okay to do the whole sex thing with someone new? It’s an awkward thing to casually talk about, so it’s a waiting game to see when it’s going to happen.

9. Going home alone.

It’s girls night out and when you somehow lose them all, having to get an Uber alone is a scary thing. Then getting home and having no one to come home to except your dog is just a sad thing

10. Dying alone.

Who wants to be the single, bitter, old lady whose getting drunk at bingo on a Thursday night?

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.
