As students, we are constantly using Word for anything school related. Since most of the time we are limited to one or two standard fonts for most assignments, we never truly experience the hundreds of fonts that are offered. Therefore, we never see just how pompous some of these fonts can be.

1. Wide Latin.


This font is just screaming for attention. Remember, less is more.

2. Comic Sans.

This font is trying to go the funny route, but we see right through it. Since this font is not taking things seriously, we are not taking it seriously.

3. Apple Chancery.

This font sounds like a dessert you would order at a fancy restaurant.

4. Snell Roundhand.

This font sounds like the name of a local jazz band that only plays on Tuesday nights. You're not fooling anyone, "snell roundhand."

5. Papyrus.

Papyrus, we are not falling for your earthy vibe. Your intentions are true, however, we know better.

6. Times New Roman


As a teacher's favorite go-to, this font has a monopoly over all typed assignments. Though it tries to stay relevant, we know just how long this font been in the game.

7. Big Caslon.

This font should change its name to "small caslon," because there's nothing big about it.

8. Courier New.

What was wrong with the first courier? Does "courier new" even care about how the old one feels? Probably not.

9. Gill Sans Ultra Bold Condensed.


This word tries to intimidate us with its jargon, yet we are all still not convinced this word can even hold its own without the "bold."

10. Edwardian Script ITC.

We can't even read this font, so it needs to calm down.

11. Wingdings.



Though unclear as to why these fonts were even considered a font choice, they demand too much attention. Wingdings, just no.

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.
