13 Things that People Say at Parties, Based on Majors

If you're anything like me, your major is what you find most interesting and what you spend the majority of your time studying. But is it possible to infer someone's major while at a party? Here is a brief list of statements that undoubtedly "give away" one's major on the weekends.

1. Journalism: "Wait, can I quote you on that?"

2. English: "What am I going to do with my major? Well, first, I'm going to drink this glass of wine. Then possibly another glass of wine." 

3. Math: "The girl to guy ratio at this party is prime." 

4. Undecided: "So, should I order whiskey? Vodka? Tequila? Ugh, I don't know, just give me a shot of something."

5. History: "Did you know...?! (insert random historical fact here)" 

6. Education: "After this round, I'm cutting all of you off."

7. Bio/Chem: "My GPA is drowning. I shouldn't be here. I should be studying for the MCAT."

8. Business: "He writes his cover letters in comic sans. He's not relationship material."

9. Psychology: "I was going to talk to him but I was getting a really cold vibe earlier from his body language."

10. Economics: "Well I ate and drank earlier because this bar is really expensive" (recites an account of how they've been saving).

11. Physics: "This is actually the first time I've been out all semester."

12. Communications: Doesn't say much for most of the evening, because he/she can't put their phone down, ever. 

13. Political Science: They're off somewhere debating something with someone.

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.
