11 Signs You Go To A Small Liberal Arts College

Going to a small liberal arts school comes with fun, quirky activities, knowing everyone on campus and knowing all the cafeteria staff. Here are 11 signs you go to a small liberal arts college.

1. You meet almost everyone during orientation week.

Fun and quirky activities are planned to help you meet those in your class, but with such a small campus it is almost impossible for you not to meet everyone. One of the perks of being at a small school!


2. " I promise I won't tell anyone."

And everyone knows by the next day. Be yourself and don't keep secrets, because word gets out weather you like it or not.

3. No need to worry about leaving you backpack or computer in the library or cafeteria.

People have respect and know not to touch your things.

4. Everyone wants to be your friend when you transfer.

You are also considered the "new kid", because the school is so small.

5. Everyone wishes you good luck with your future.

Little do they know the amount of efforts put forth to make you successful right after college.

6. You can find 10 different fields of study in the same building.

No need to rush to class and walk over a mile to get to another department.


7. You are most likely to be on a first name basis with staff and chefs in the cafeteria.

You may even consider yourself "tight" with them.

8. Attendance policies are put in place, and actually mean something.

Since you are probably close with your professors, they will know if you are skipping or missing class. They also will be on top of you about your work because they do care!

9. Greek life and sporting events typically have large audiences or participants due to their broadcasting and spread of word across campus.

Do not forget about the countless amount of times you walk though your student center and get attacked to participate or donate in these events.

10. Your advisor says, "You can self direct your own major or minor."

Who wouldn't want to create their own path for success?

11. Every where you go on campus is within walking distance of 10 minutes.

Although its short, everyone always complains.

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.
