12 Ways To Look Like You Have Your Life Together

There's nothing more fulfilling than feeling like you have your life together.

Then, just like that, you start college and you come to understand just how much you don't have your life together. You start sleeping past your alarm. You find out about a big test in class the day it's given. You hardly get any sleep trying to complete an assignment that should have only taken an hour but has taken the entire night. But that's all okay. It happens in college. To be honest, no one really knows what they're doing and everyone is simply faking it until they make it. On that note, here are 12 ways to look like you have your life together in college.

1. Always have a cup of coffee in hand

It makes you look like you have time to enjoy a nice cup of coffee even though you really don't.

2. Highlight all over your textbook

It makes others think that you took time to understand the assigned readings instead of skimming through them like you most likely did.

3. Keep an agenda with you at all times

It gives you the chance to make yourself look busier than you are.

4. Always talk about your new diet

Even if the diet is eating a tub of ice cream a night, no one needs to know that your diet is unhealthy.

5. Ask questions in class, even if you already know the answers

Even if you already know the answers to the questions you're asking, it makes you look as though you've really thought about the lesson at hand.

6. Or talk to the teacher after class

It shows that you are generally interested in the topic and getting a good grade, even if you're only really interested with the latter.

7. Go to the library

The act of going to the library shows that you at least try to understand what the hell is going on in your classes.

8. Constantly have a textbook in your hand

While always having a textbook with you might have made you seem like a nerd in high school, in college it makes you look like you have your life together.

9. Always walk to class with headphones on

This makes you look as though you can't have anything to do with the muggles out there.

10. Bring your computer with you everywhere


It gives you a chance to do homework anywhere, or it gives you the chance to check social media on a larger device.

11. Wear glasses

For some strange reason, wearing glasses makes you look as though all you do is read books for fun and study.

12. Then let yourself go

And once you've spent the day pretending like you have it all together, you can go home and finally relax and realize you really have no idea what you're doing with your life.

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.
