12 Signs You Went To This College
Colourbox

Did you go to this college? I'm sure you'll recognize everything on this list - this kind of stuff happened all the time! And hey, if you didn't go to school here, or you haven't enrolled yet, I bet you can still understand, enjoy and relate to these 12 things!

1. That dang catchphrase everyone would joke about on YikYak

Since you first heard it on your tours, that silly catchphrase has been spoofed all over YikYak (where it can “safely hide” from the admissions squad). You’ve heard so many variations, you’re almost sick of it! (Almost. Prepare for the new students in the fall who are going to be doing the same thing).

2. The Downtown Restaurant


Mmm, mmm, mmm! The best hang out place in town is definitely this restaurant. Every time you step in, the chances of you running into another peer from school is raised, especially considering it’s within walking distance and it’s in the same town as your college! The convenience and coincidence is astounding!

3. The Shitty Dining Hall

If only it looked as nice as it does in this picture! A polar opposite of that restaurant down the street, this diner is definitely shitty. You and your friends learned to joke about it all the time from what upperclassmen have said and what you’ve seen online. It’s the only place you guys eat, but it’s still shitty.

4. That group of stoners no one talks to

Every school has them, even our school. They enhance the college life, though, encompassing every type of group there is in the world. You still steer clear of them, though.

5. All those fountain fanatics

Oh man. If you could count all the times you’ve seen some fountain shenanigans going on, you’d lose track after a while counting- because there are so many times! You’ve even tried to step in once, though the cold definitely numbed your feet!

6. The great, selfless janitorial, service, maintenance worker staff

Okay but in all seriousness, god bless the service workers. They deserve the sun and the moon. And the rest of the galaxy, to be honest.

7. The Library

Ah, yes. The library. The staff are beautiful, the books are plentiful and it is the greatest place to study- or even just to hang out!

8. That one guy in administration

Him. Ah, there he is. That one guy in administration. There’s no sense denying he’s in your school. It’s like a radar; every time he’s near, you take notice. You’ve run into some strange situations with him, but it’s okay, he’s just here to do his job, not judge you! (Hopefully).

9. The Token Minority

Everyone knows that token minority! Whether they’re LGBT, a person of color or maybe even disabled somehow, it seems like everyone on campus knows that they’re diverse because of that "one visibly different" person. Heck, we even had more than one token minority! That’s how we know we’re accepting, and that’s how we can sleep at night- knowing how accepting we are.

10. The Gosh Darned Mascot

You know your mascot. No, really, you definitely know your mascot. It’s not your high school’s mascot, it’s your college’s mascot. And boy oh boy, every time you see that suit you’re filled with either extreme school spirit or unease at whatever is about to be announced to the student body.

11. The Frats

You can always count on those frats, throwing their music and blasting their parties. Just be sure to go with a friend and have your cell phone when you're there. Your safety is more important than having a good time.

12. The Goofy School Merchandise

I’ve already met my word count. I’m not required to write any more for this.

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.
