For nights you'd rather people-watch.

13 Things You'll See At College Parties
Stacks Mag

No matter what college you attend, the formula for parties remains the same. There are certain things that you’ll see at just about any party.

1. People trying to DJ: Everyone is convinced that they’re playlist is the best one for the party. One second you’re listening to "Fetty Wap," and then somebody puts on "Stacy’s mom." Hide the aux cord.

2. People posted up in everyone’s way: All the wall space in a house, and some people still feel that a doorway, or a staircase is the best place to stand.

3. Sweaty people: Let too many people flow in and the house becomes a sauna. Bring an extra shirt.

4. People asking for rides back: People will offer to sell their own soul in order to get back home. Sometimes going to a party is worth risking a walk back to campus or paying for an overpriced uber.

5. Chris Brown imitators: They say the key to dancing is having confidence, but that confidence can definitely get out of hand. Sometimes you need people who can’t dance around so you’ll look that much better.

6. Girl in packs: For unknown reasons, girls often stick to a squad of no less than four on average. This makes hitting on them much more difficult. You’ll basically have to spit game that’s good enough for everyone in the group.

7. People taking pong too seriously: It’s hard to believe that with all the excitement of a party going on, some people are only concerned with being next at the table.

8. People getting sick:They swear they’re “all good” even as they’re passed out on the couch or throwing up in the back of your car.

9. Destruction of property: Being around other people’s stuff, suddenly makes guests want to break things, and punch defenseless walls.

10. A fight: Parties can bring out the violent side in people. If only they would take it outside.

11. Interrogations: WHO DO YOU KNOW HERE? Party hosts sure are picky when it comes to the people in their house. They’d never do anything like open their house to hundreds of college aged strangers to wander around freely. That would be crazy.

12. Badly parked cars: If you don’t want the party broken up, you can’t just park anywhere. Usually people are told to park out of site. People actually park in the following areas: the middle of the street, in the neighbor’s driveway, on the neighbor’s lawn, etc.

13. Some dude getting rejected: The pressure is on for the guy to make the first move, and it can go pretty badly. Even though we’ve all been here, it’s hard to resist laughing.

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.
