10 Thought Every College Student Has While Doing Laundry

You're probably wondering what might have inspired this article and its obviously because there was a pile of laundry 5 feet up the side of my wall and it was finally the day i had to do laundry.

If you aren't new to this whole college thing then you know just the feeling of watching laundry pile up so high you know it just might never get done. But with a little hard work and dedication you know it will be over in a painfully long amount of time.

Laundry is definitely not our friend but someone's gotta do it, and that someone just so happens to be us.. but you can't argue you have so many questionable thoughts in the process.

1. "I definitely forgot to put soap in there."

if you've never done this before you are lying.

2. *Calls mom*

Um mom, can I put that blue shirt in the same wash with this white shirt?

3. "I would literally pay someone to do this for me."

If you don't have a breaking point somewhere in the process you are doing it wrong.

4. "Wow I've been looking for this."

sometimes that laundry basket turns into a black hole and you find clothes you've been missing for weeks.

5. "Yup that smells."

Pro Tip: if you like to leave your laundry to pile up for weeks throw some dryer sheets in your basket every now and then.

6. "I wish my mom could just do this for me..."

Long live the sweet days of living at home and having your mom take care of the laundry.

7. "I don't know how to fold."

When the clothes come out of the dryer things either go 2 ways.. 1. Clothes get kind of folded or 2. Throw that stuff in the drawers as is. Option 2 is usually how things go.

8. *Forgets stuff in machine for 3 hours.*

It happens to the best of us.

9. "Welp this definitely wasn't pink when I started."

Clothes that were once white are now a whole range of different pastels.

10. *Loses pairs of socks like it's your day job."

That laundry room eats socks I'm convinced.

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.
