Home of the Yellow Hammer, Crimson Tide, and Nick Saban worshipers, the University of Alabama is a safe haven for its students.

In fact, despite the continuous construction, UA might just be one of the best looking college campuses you've ever seen (if not the best!). Now, here, we love that all of y'all hate us, but we understand it is just because you don't understand us. To help you learn to love us despite being jealous, here are a few answers for you.

1. "Omg! This campus is huge. How big is it?"

Enrolled students: 38,483.

Campus size: 1,026 acres.

2. "How do you even get across campus?"

Well, you walk. You can take a bus (Crimson Rides), call a 348 if times are right, bike, skateboard, ride your Razor scooter... I've seen it all.

3. "Aren't Y'all just a college town? What do you do for fun?"

In Tuscaloosa, there are many things to do! Shopping, eating, attending concerts in the amphitheater, enjoying the outdoors, and much more! You just have to look in the right places.

4. "How did y'all get Nick Saban?"

UA is "where legends are made". Wouldn't you want to be a legend?

5. "How are Y'all so good at everything?"

See number 4.

6. "Forget all the statistic crap, how are the parties?"

With more than 30 fraternities and 10 bars near the campus itself, let's just say you are bound to find something that suits your fancy.

7. "Since Y'all are a football school, are the classes really even that hard?"

The difficulty of your classes will be determined by how much effort you put in and how often you attend class, usually.

8. "Have you ever seen Jalen Hurts on campus?!"

Personally, no. It is a rare sight to see any well-known football player on campus, but it can happen. Dream big, my friends. Who knows he may be sitting in the front row of a one of your lecture classes.

9. "A lot of classes exceed 150 people. With that being said, do your professors even care if you don't show up for class?"

Yes, they do care. However, they're not going hold your hand and have a talk with you about your absences if you aren't showing any effort at all.

10. "Aren't like ALL of y'all involved in Greek Life?"

Actually, only around 35% of UA students are involved in Greek Life. It is really easy to educate yourself on it though. Have fun!

11. "Tell the truth, which is better: Upper bowl or Lower bowl?"

In my opinion, lower bowl. I've heard some say that upper bowl is better if you'd like to see every little thing that happens, but with the lower bowl, you will most likely see the big moments up close.

12. "How much do you drink on a daily basis?"

It really depends on the person. You have those who are drinking every second of every day and then you have those who don't drink at all. ~Drink responsibly~

13. "Is Bryant Dining Hall really that much better than Fresh Foods, Burke, or Lakeside dining halls?"

Yes. Yes, it is.

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.
