1. Always make sure you get enough sleep.


Lack of sleep means you aren't going to function at your best. You also don't want to be the guy left out.

2. Don't cram your studies at the last moment.

Every student can admit that they have procrastinated once in their college careers, but don't get so backed up that you're overwhelmed.

3. If you need help ask.

Teachers may look mean, but they're human. You have tutors and friends by your side, too! College isn't cheap; don't waste your opportunity to shine!

4. Plan your study time.

You hear the latest party is going down Saturday and a game on Sunday but you have a paper due Monday. Do it early. No stress and your best work will show.

5. Go outside.

You can't hide in your dorm all day. Your campus is beautiful; go walk around. Get that Vitamin D!

6. Take a break.

Don't take a three day weekend when you have assignments due when you return. Instead, take a break between them. (Not meaning go to the beach) Go grab coffee watch a Netflix episode. (Just one....OK maybe two)

7. Treat yourself!

You just got that paper back and got your goal grade?! WOOP! Grab your favorite treat. You worked for it. Treat yourself. Eat the cookie!

8. It's okay if it takes more than one try.

Didn't get that grade you wanted? Or needed? It's okay. Breathe. College is understanding and you'll get another chance.

9. Try new things.

Always wanted to take that drama class? Or join that mathematics club? DO IT! You may find your new 'thing,' but you wouldn't know that if you didn't try!

10. Remember have to fun!


Even though you're in college now, you're still human! Go out with friends. Human interaction is healthy. Dinosaurs work, 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.
