10 Thoughts Everyone Has During All-Night Pomp

It's that time of year again, folks. It's time for America's Greatest Homecoming. For weeks, people have been patiently building the decks that have made this school so iconic, and it is almost time for all of the hard work to pay off. But first, there's one thing that has to happen: all-night pomp. Through the good and the bad, there are certain things everyone pomping thinks, and here they are.

1. When it's finally time for your shift and you're thinking "I can do this. This isn't so bad."

2. When you realize you're going to be spending a good part of your night pomping

3. When you look around and the pomping room is full and there are suddenly way too many people

4. When all of the seniors come into the room after their bar crawl and are loud for no real reason

5. When the boys are taking forever to pomp so the girls have to take over


6. When you've been pomping too long and you start to get hangry

7. When you start thinking about having to go to class the next morning running on no sleep

8. When you realize that your shift is almost over

9. When your shift is over and you walk out of the pomping room for the last time


10. When you look at your house's deck and proudly think, "I helped make that."

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.
