William and Mary

Bleeding with Green and Gold pride, the College of William and Mary is home to around 8,500 students. Despite the wonderful diversity at the school, there are some common struggles and inside jokes that most, if not all, students understand. Here are 15 signs you go to William and Mary and are a true member of the Tribe:

1. When you tell your friends you're going to "Swem" but it autocorrects to "swim" so your friends think you're going for a swim in the middle of December.

2. You have way more meal swipes than you need so you end up swiping in for coffee and ice cream on Tuesday.

3. You're stuck with watching upperclassmen fill up classes because they have priority registration.

4. You're an upperclassman and finally get the privilege of having priority registration.

5. You avoid wearing flip flops when you're going to study on the third floor of Swem.

6. You remember the terrors of freshmen housing.

7. When you go to The Crust, you get a skillet cookie. No exceptions.

8. You hold your breath every time you go return your dishes at the Caf because the dish return reeks of dirty socks and fish.

9. You're terrified of the squirrels and jump every time you hear rustling from the bushes.

10. You've tripped on bricks at least once.

11. You spend way too many nights walking up and down Richmond Road.

12. When your school's ranked #20 for partying in Virginia, and you didn't even realize that there are 20 schools in Virginia.

13. You always say you're interested in AMP events on Facebook but you never go to any of them.

14. You've gotten lost in the ISC at least once.

15. You spend way too much money on late night Wawa runs.

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.
