If you're anything like me, you've already checked your bank account and realized that there's no way you can afford rent, utilities, food, and to do fun activities on the weekends as well. Looking for some cheap ways to enjoy your time at college? Below are 15 different ways to have fun on a college budget.

1. Go to your local park

Relive your childhood by swinging and going down the slide that's way too small for you anymore.

2. Go stargazing

When's the last time you just went outside and looked up at the stars?

3. Make brunch with your roommates

Why go out to a diner when you could just make food from the comfort of your home?

4. Tour the city

Walk around and see your local stores, restaurants, and more!

5. Go to a local cafe

Try out some new food from the local area that you've never had before!

6. Go to the school's sporting events

Most are free or come with tuition!

7. Watch a local band performance

They may suck, but you never know unless you try!

8. Go to a lake

Go swimming, tanning, play some sand volleyball, etc.

9. Go to the $2 cheap seat movie theater

So you can still experience the film on the big screen but for a low price!

10. Attend campus events

Go to a block party, see an inspirational speaker, the possibilities are endless.

11. Start a new Netflix series

Watch one on your own or start it with your roommates.

12. Go hiking

It's fun and you get your exercise in.

13. Go shopping at a thrift store

Why pay extra for the same quality of clothes anyways?

14. Try some Pinterest DIY

The peanut butter and oreo coated frozen bananas are to die for.

15. Go to Petland

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.
