10 Thing to Know Before Coming To LSU
Best Colleges Online

1) The entirety of "Callin' Baton Rouge" by Garth Brooks

And at least the chorus of "From Louisiana" and "Louisiana Saturday Night". No matter what bar or tailgate you go to, you'll hear all of these at least twice throughout your time there.

2) It's a marathon, not a sprint

SEC tailgating is like nothing you've ever experienced before, I'm just going to leave it at that.

3) Death Valley is louder than you'd expect

Sure everyone has told you this, but nobody can prepare you for the roar of that first home game.

4) The alma mater is law

No matter where you're from or where you're headed, you always grab whoever is next to you and sing the alma mater with your tiger family every football game. Sure, nobody gets the words right even though they're on the screen in front of us, but it is a beautiful bonding moment nonetheless.

5) LSU parking is no joke

PARK WHERE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO. Take it from someone who's been ticketed and towed for the smallest things, just follow the rules.

6) Outtakes/ Take 5

These are the best part of having a meal plan, its like having a super CVS within walking distance of your dorm, but the CVS has sushi, pizza and mozzarella sticks.

7) There is a Starbucks in the design building

LSU's best kept secret, and this one takes Starbucks gift cards, you're welcome.

8) The McDonald's in the Union is always serving ice cream

No really, throughout my time here their machine has never been broken. Yeah, a McDonald's where the ice cream machine always works. You read that right.

9) During exams there are stress dogs in Middleton Library

Honestly thats enough of a reason to love LSU I don't even need to say anything else.

10) LSU is Home

We're all tigers through and through, and nobody can take that away from us. Everyone here has purple and gold running through their veins and is going to welcome you into our community with as much love as they have to offer. This campus is our home, and we can't wait for it to be yours too.

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.
