8 Things That Prove You're In College

1. You’ve mastered the art of consuming more coffee (and liquor) than should be humanly possible.

You’re now a regular at the local Starbucks and the local frat houses. What college student can turn down a vanilla latte? Or a keg stand?

2. Having a normal sleep schedule is now a thing of the past.

If welcome week taught you one thing, it was that sleeping at night really is not necessary.

3. There isn’t somewhere you cannot or will not fall asleep.

Park bench? Been there. Couches in the lib? Done that.


4. Time management is something you still haven’t mastered.

You have 24 hours in a day. Use them wisely.

5. You have the urge to drop out everyday, yet somehow you never want to graduate.

Midterms and finals can make you want to pull your hair out, but you can't actually see yourself living anywhere except your college town.

6. You’ve realized “adult-ing” is a lot harder than your parents make it seem.

Why are the dishes never clean? How is there so much laundry? Why do you have to cook so often? What is this electric bill and how come you have to pay it?

7. You and your roommates spontaneously turned into a team of medical professionals.

Fever? Alcohol poisoning? A cut that definitely needs stitches? No chance. Nothing is ever that serious in college. You’d much rather take your chances and just let things “run their course.”

8. Biking accidents are a frequent occurrence.

Whether you’re the biker or the walker, we all know the fear of colliding with one another.

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.
