10 Thoughts Every College Student Has
Positive Soul

We are sleep deprived. We have bad eating habits. We're the kings and queens of procrastinating. We don't understand the concept of moderation. Oh, yeah. We're also the future professionals of the world. How promising. Being that we are all sharing some of the same habits, it's logical to assume that we have all shared the same thoughts at some point or another. So here are the top ten most common thoughts of college students.

1. "I don't need to go to bed yet. I'll be fine."

One is still early evening. Two is yawn central. Three is the best time for coffee. Four means you might as well stay up until class.

2. "I did NOT sleep enough. I'm exhausted."

I say this every day. No matter how much sleep I've gotten. I am guaranteed to say "I'm tired" at least 47 times in one day.

3. "Do I have the time to print this before class?"

How you feel when the line to the printer is massive and then the printer decides to not work five minutes before you have to hand in a paper.

4. "Due in two weeks? Do in two weeks."

You haven't properly been to college if you haven't decided the best time to write a ten page paper is the day before it's due.

5. "Which thing is more important? Dinner or homework or sleep?"

Personally, I'd go with homework, sleep then food. But others may feel differently.

6. "Is this professor for real?"

Telling me to read two chapters, write a reflection and print out seven different things over the course of one day is completely undoable. I have four other classes between now and then. It's completely unreasonable.

7. "I learned absolutely nothing today. Thank heavens I'm in debt for this." or "Well that was irrelevant to me. Totally worth thousands of dollars."

So here's the thing. We are learning things. But we aren't learning the thing we want to know. For example, I am never going to reference photosynthesis in my career in public relations. Or, another example, my counseling and human services major friend is not going to be referencing the Pythagorean Theorem to her clients. Please stop with this. Please.

8. "I really shouldn't eat this." *orders pizza*

Yes, there is a salad bar. Yes, there's always the option of grilled chicken and some veggies. But when Domino's will literally bring pizza straight to your dorm, why bother leaving the warmth of the residence halls.

9. "Is it break yet?"

It seems as though we come back and then we spend week after week wishing to go back home. When we finally get home, the reverse happens. Which brings me to my next and final thought...

10. "Can I go back yet?"

Break is great. No matter which one it is, it's always great to go home, see some old friends, make some money and catch up on sleep. But when it's all been said and done, there is nothing better than sitting in your dorm with your friends, complaining about classes and eating horrible food.

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.
