1. They had a Headmaster instead of a principle, ate in the Dining Hall, and went to the Infirmary when they were sick. Remind you of anywhere?

2. They're already used to living on their own in a dorm, and are familiar with having to take care of their own laundry, either on their own or with E&R.

3. They're very appreciative of even the little freedoms, like having all night internet and 2-day weekends after years of Saturday classes.

4. They're used to hooking up in any place other than their own rooms, because violating inter-dorming rules at boarding school was a serious offense.

5. In freshmen year, they'll be a little hesitant to leave campus without signing out like they've had to do for the past 4 years.

6. They're already used to being sick all the time, and because of that, they are better at holding themselves together.

7. They never lock their doors and don't hesitate to leave their stuff unattended in the library, because that's the norm at boarding school.

8. Used to strict (punishable by expulsion) drug and alcohol policies, they'll ask you if you want to "Robo-trip" or do "whip-its." But you're in college now, so say no.

9. Their closets are full of dress shirts and they are in serious need of more casual clothes. Most of their schools had "look books" that pictured the best-dressed students of the day.

10. They'll wear apparel with their school's name on it. And don't worry, if not, they'll tell you that they went to boarding school probably within the first 15 minutes of meeting you.

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.

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.
