10 Signs You Don't Belong in College

Do you feel like a 30 year old trapped in a 21 year old body? Have no fear - grandmas can go to college, too.

1. You go to bed and wake up early.

Although there is the occasional late night, it doesn't happen often. Or if it does, you definitely try to convince your friends to start the night earlier so you can go to bed at your self-assigned bed time.

2. You actually enjoy 8 ams.

Anything that gets me out of bed and walking to class before the campus rush hits is my kind of class.

3. Doing homework is enjoyable.

All you need is a cup of coffee and some good music, and you're good to go. Maybe it's rewarding because you can check it off of your to-do list, or maybe you are just that crazy to kind of enjoy your classes.

4. You admire your professors.

While everyone is complaining about how their professors are evil, twisted and out to drain their souls of all happiness, you usually find your professors funny and kind of wish you knew them outside of class.

5. You read for fun.

Even though you have plenty of reading to do for your classes, you still make time to read a book for your own enjoyment.

6. You prefer cooking for yourself.

Grabbing food on campus is convenient, but there is something about making your own meals at home. Although your meals may not be fancy, you still made it yourself!

7. You're more interested in watching the news than watching the Kardashians.

Reality TV can have it's time and place, but you really struggle to see why people care so much about celebrities lives instead of the state of the world around them.

8. You would happily trade a mixed drink for a nice, craft beer.

People who double-fist triples downtown concern you a little bit. There's nothing wrong with a fun night out, but at the same time sipping a beer at home with good company sounds very tempting to you.

9. Themes don't appeal to you.

You don't remember the last time you dressed up in anything besides your school colors for a football game... and you're going to keep it that way.

10. Everything seems loud all of the time.

Have you ever been to Elrods before happy hour? If not, I encourage you to go but prepare yourself. The chips and salsa may be free, but your ears might pay for it.

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.
