11 Ways To Spot A College Freshman

As much as we don't want to admit it, college freshmen are easy to spot. When you are a freshman yourself, you refuse to believe that you can be easily identified as a "newbie," but everyone else around you could guess your class in 3 seconds flat. It's not a bad thing to be a freshman, everyone has to start somewhere right?

1. They are the only perky people in your 8 a.m. classes.

2. They keep close track of how many classes they skip, while upperclassmen are only concerned with how many meals they have missed.

3. They call home at least once every day… or maybe seven.

4. Their alarm clock is set 2 hours before class, meanwhile, upperclassmen stroll in 5 minutes late with no worries.

5. They love dining hall food and all the selections. Upperclassmen have had enough of the bland burgers and unidentifiable vegetable mix.

6. They mostly travel in packs so they don’t have to walk across campus alone.

7. They will dress nicely for class. Upperclassmen only dress well for a job interview or court date.

8. They are the only ones with a notebook, t-shirt, folder, and planner all with your school’s logo printed on the front.

9. The assignment that is due on Friday will be turned in by Wednesday afternoon. However, upperclassmen hit “submit” at 11:58 p.m.

10. They stay up super late and are somehow still able to function the next day.

11. They’ll read this list and argue that none of it is true.

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.
