10 Hidden Truths About College
Costume Craze

1. You may never sleep again, but you also may sleep all day.

2. If you have a social life you may as well say goodbye to your grades. If you have the grades, say goodbye to everything else.

3. No one tells you college is easy, but it's not the curriculum that's hard. It's actually turning everything in before the Wifi dies, so you can forget doing things at the last possible minute.

4. You always...always have something you should be doing that you're not.

5. Time is non-existent. I don't even know what time it is now, and I'm not going to look because something is probably due.

6. No one told you how hard it was to carry groceries up to your dorm without take a break every few steps. Forget about carrying water up.

7. If you have a good parking spot up close you may never drive your car again. It's that special.

8. The amount of time you have alone is infinitesimal or you're alone for so long you forgot your friends look like.

9. You miss your animals more than anything, and you keep planning how they can somehow live on campus without anyone knowing.

10. The best time to do laundry is not at all because it's only ever free when you're asleep, and sleep is the most important goal.

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.

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.

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.
