10 Ways College Girls Fake Having Their Sh*t Together

Sometimes I prefer sweats to little black dresses, and that's okay. I totally have my life together (not).

I'm a lazy girl. When I say lazy, I mean lazy to the point where I sit around in the same pair of pajamas for days at a time, binge watching Stranger Things when in reality I should be doing laundry, school work, or hell ANYTHING other than what I'm doing to procrastinate.

With time, however, I have come to find that all of us have a lazy side and that we really are just faking it until we can make it back to our beds to do a lot more of the nothing we were trying to do before we decided that it was a good idea to leave the house. Life is better when you accept that you're not alone in your laziness.


1. Accepting your bed-head

Bless whoever decided that messy buns were a fashion statement. Throw it up and you'll know for certain that your hair is going to stay in place all damn day. Literally, anyone looks good in a messy bun.

2. Re-wearing that shirt you slept in last night.

If it's comfy I'm going to wear the hell out of it. Bonus points if it's oversized and slouchy. Negative bonus points if you spill your coffee on it.

3. Caffeine, caffeine, oh sweet caffeine.

Look alive, sunshine. We all know that this is the ultimate secret to our half-awake selves so early in the morning. Caffeine is our fuel, the love of our life, and most notably our better half.

4. Make your damn bed

Your bed takes up the most space in your room, at the very least just pull your comforter over your messy sheets so that it looks like the majority of your room is clean.

5. Cute Decor

Keep a cute, low-maintenance succulent or cactus next to your bed to show that not only do you have a cute horticulturalist side, but that you are hip to all things minimalist. Fairy lights wouldn't hurt, either.

6. Match your bra and underwear

Deep down inside you'll know that you're the queen of having your shit together. Is there anything that makes you feel more fancy than wearing a matching set?

7. Serious Instagram captions

Throw a deep Rumi quote under that fierce selfie you took a few weeks ago where you looked fierce as hell to let people know that not only are you culturally refined but that you totally aren't sitting on your couch hours deep into a Netflix binge shoveling Cheetos into your mouth.

8. Carry around a planner

Pretend like you have a super busy schedule by telling people that you'll have to check your schedule to see if you can work them into your life. Whip our your planner and his them with a "let me see if I can pencil you in then."

9. Set the mood

Play some music to set the mood while also showing how bomb your taste in music is. Slap a record on the platter or even find a chill Spotify playlist. Might I suggest Afternoon Acoustic.

10. Don't give a damn

You do you, boo boo. Don't worry about what other's think and bask in the glory of your lazy glow. Go on with your fabulous self.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
