11 Stereotypes You've Embraced Going To School In Indiana

Going to school in Indiana means getting used to people from Indiana, and, inevitably, the stereotypes that people associate with people from Indiana. It's not all bad, but there's something to smile at in each of them.

1. You've gotten used to your friends referencing where they're from by the name of their hometown rather than their state.

Hell, you've actually become familiar with where exactly Carmel, Indiana is located on a map.

2. The first time you heard of the game "cornhole" you were utterly confused and somewhat hesitant to participate.

But then you played and realized you were actually quite good.

3. Although you may have not initially agreed, you've finally came to accept that "soda" is actually referred to as "pop.

Whatever, I'll just go with it. Can I just please get some Coke?

4. Wherever you are in Indiana, you can count on a Super Walmart or Super Target to be right around the corner.

Every college student in Indiana shares this blessing.

5. Indiana's passion for country music has slowly but surely rubbed off on you.

Admit it, you sing along or nod your head when a Luke Bryan song starts playing.

6. You never thought corn mazes would be an Autumn festivity until you came to Indiana.

All your friends back at home are going to a haunted house while you're stranded in the middle of a cornfield.

7. When you first learned you are not allowed to purchase alcohol on Sundays, some part of you believed you time traveled back to the prohibition.

Nope, it's still 2016. You're just stuck in the most conservative state, better known as Indiana.

8. You've given up on dieting because not only do people in Indiana believe that cheese is a main food group, but they also think everything tastes better fried and then dipped in ranch.

So much for dreaming of getting a spring break body.

9. You easily adjusted to the friendliness of the good-hearted folks of Indiana.

Wow, this is what hospitality feels like?

10. You no longer find it strange that your friends from Indiana have tipped a cow in their spare time.

Just how I imagine spending my Friday night... right?

11. Regardless of the mile long stretches of corn fields, you still find peace and comfort in Indiana.

Because at the end of the day, it's home.

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.
