10 Things Ole Miss Students Regret Putting Off

There are things we should be getting done, but put off till the last minute? Yeah, it happens daily to us all.

1. Laundry day. You promise yourself you will wash your clothes every day until you reach into your underwear drawer and realize you will have to go commando that day. Not to mention all your LuluLemon is dirty.

2. Papers, studying for tests, homework, etc. These are definitely the situations where we find ourselves wandering campus looking for a place to study because the library is too crowded, leading you eventually to the ultimate decision that you will study tomorrow. Knocking back fifty Starbuck beverages in a row at 1 a.m. so you can meet the deadline on Blackboard is all-too familiar.

3. Asking a formal date. You wait until the week of to see how it is going with your crush for that month, because let's face it: relationships expire faster than milk these days.

4. Getting gas. This one you will regret the most when you are stranded on Highway 6 and everyone just so happens to “not be looking at their phone." Thank God for Austin and his taxi service.

5. Getting your hair done. You are getting ready to go out to the Square, and as you are drying your hair you see the distinct line of blonde versus brown staring you in the mirror. This could determine whether you hop back into bed with Netflix or not.

6. Getting up in the morning. That snooze button becomes your best friend and then, all of a sudden, it stabs your back with its knife. It is 8:05 a.m. and your butt is supposed to be sitting in marketing at 8 a.m. and you have definitely missed your ride on the OUT bus. So you roll in casually at 8:20 a.m. with your hair askew from sprinting across the grove and you get an evil glare from your professor. Don't forget to scan in.

7. Working out. You are feeling fat and happy from the srat/frat food, C-store on flex, and of course that late night chicken on a stick, until you put those flared jeans on from freshmen year and realize you have gained some pounds. It goes from one week to one month of putting off working out, until you convince yourself it just is not happening -- unless you are prescribed to Adderall and realize that diet works best. You then decide you will start running at Lamar Park when the weather is nice.

8. Dishes and trash. You let the dishes and trash pile up because college just does not allow time for cleaning. It gets almost unbearable until you and your roommates realize you are living like frat boys.

9. Getting some sun. When you slide into those cut off jean shorts for the next spring party and you look in the mirror and think, “What up, Casper?" Then, again, who wants to endure skin cancer. Embrace the paleness.

10. Locking the Vault. Waiting the last minute to purchase your sports tickets on your student ID could potentially ruin your social calendar. Not purchasing football tickets in time could add stress to your life because you will have to hunt down a ticket every week just so you can throw your fins up. We all seem to forget about it until our parents remind us. Luckily, basketball and baseball are freebies. It would just be awful if you had to pay to sit in right field.

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.
