College to most people means partying, drinking, tailgating, and of course chanting your sorority/ fraternity's slogan while wearing your Greek letter apparel.

But what about the rest? The ones some see as lame or who are labeled as the relaxed type. I believe there to be ten ways to pick out these sort of introverted, chill kind of college students.

1. You Usually Prefer To Cook Or Order In, Rather Than Go Out

If you are the chill, introverted kind of college student, odds are you prefer to order in or cook for yourself, rather than go out, have to face any chances or being social with anyone other than the person ringing you up for your food. You probably prefer to be at home in your yoga or sweat pants watching "Friends" or "The Office" while you eat, instead of trying to make conversation over whatever was posted on social media by whichever Kardashian.

2. You Try To Escape Any And All Social Events

While the majority of the college student-aged demographic is obsessed with partying, bars, tailgating, and just about any and every social event, you try to avoid them at all costs. You've used all the excuses in the book : family emergency, so so much homework, you're sick, you have to work, and if all else fails, you simply tell them you will not be in attendance under any circumstances as you have a date with Netflix and the Winchesters. There's always that one person to who thinks they can pull you out of your introverted ways.

3. You Are Not Happy When You Are Forced To Be Social

Every introverted, chill kind of college student knows that there is always going to be that one social event or interaction that you cannot avoid or get out of. This usually results in you being a pretty unhappy, and probably uncomfortable, camper.

4. The Perfect Weekend Plans Include Being At Home

All your favorite things as a more chill kind of college student are most likely at home. All your favorite books, Netflix, your dog. Why leave? Here you only have to be social if you truly desire to be.

5. You're The Best Person To Come To For Any Sort Of Recommendations

This includes books, movies, and television shows. Odds are even if you haven't finished the show, you have either began to watch it, have read about it, watched the trailer, or read the Netflix description. Also, you are so familiar with your Netflix suggestions that if someone watches any of the same shows you do, you can make recommendations off your own "Because you watched..." personalized Netflix suggestions.

6. You Are More Attached To Fictitious Characters

As the introverted kind of college student, you spend a lot of time doing things like reading books and watching movies/television shows. Thus resulting in your strong affection for fictitious characters rather than living people. You probably even come close to considering the six friends ; Joey, Monica, Chandler, Rachel, Phoebe, and Ross to be your friends more than most people you know. Also, the death of a movie or book character is pretty life ruining too.

7. You Love Dogs More Than Most People

As an antisocial individual you can always find companionship in your dog. Someone who will never complain about your movie selection, lets you pick where to get carry out from, and is always happy to go along for a trip to Starbucks. No matter the dog, it's probably better than most people you have come across in your life and they actually prefer you stay home.

8. You Love Chill One-Person Activities

Your favorite place to go if it's not home, is probably Barnes & Noble. Here you can get all your favorite books, CDs, vinyls, and all the amazing advanced coloring books you can think of. Then you get to go home put on some John Lennon and read and color to your heart's desire. The best part? Aside from a brief encounter with the lady at the checkout, there is no need for social interaction.

9. Your Social Group Consists Of A Select Few

Sure you may have that occasional conversation with the girl who sits next to you in lecture, or the guy you share a station with in lab, but odds are if you're a more introverted and chill kind of college student, you have a very select few of those you truly enjoy interacting with regularly. They're most likely as antisocial and chill as you are and share your desire to be at home watching Netflix.

10. You Prefer Coffee Or A Nice Soft Red Over Beer Or Hard Liquor

It's no secret that a favorite pastime of the average college student is loading up on all the beer and hard liquor they can get their hands on. However, the more chill kind of students, prefer a trip to Starbucks or kicking back with a glass of a nice soft red wine. Most of that hard stuff is poor in taste and disastrous on the funds.

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.
