9 Small Accomplishments You Make In College

Being a college student is a very stressful. There are good day and bad days and sometimes you never really know what to expect when you walk out of the house in the morning. On our worst days when we don't have clean dishes and we failed that test and no longer have an Ramen, we have to remember all of the small accomplishments we have done that day or that week!

1. You paid you rent on time.

Well look at that its the 30th of the month. You decide to walk down to the rental office and walk as your landlords face fills with shock that you are here on time.

2. You got an Uber for a lower fare rate.

Crazy nights usually end by you and your friends calling an Uber home. You click open your app and you notice that the fare are not up tonight so you will be able to afford groceries later this week. Score.


3. You went to bed at a decent time.

You finish your homework early, you read your chapters and for the first time in days you can now go to bed on time. Sweet dreams!


4. You made a reference to something you learned in class, outside of class.

You never thought that you would remember that one thing that one politician did in that one year but here you are watching a movie with a political reference that you understand. Basically your a genius.


5. You remembered to pack headphones today

The worst thing in the world is when you forget to pack your headphones. What do you do at the library? What do you do without music? Well lucky for you, you wont have to find out.


6. You ate off a plate instead of a napkin.

For some reason you remembered to start the dish washer before you went to bed last night so this morning you got to eat your eggs and toast on an actual plate.


7. You found your study guide on Quizlet.

You have been trying to do this study guide for hours and Google nor your textbook has the answers. You scroll and scroll and then you come across it, the Quizlet link. You have found your study guide on Quizlet and all of the stars are aligning.


8. No one sat in your favorite spot in class.

You get to class at your normal arrival time and there it is. Your favorite spot in this terribly long lecture class. You might be able to suffer through this class because of this seat.


9. You remember its Friday.

This week was long and stressful. It was full of exams and pop quizzes and late nights. But no worries my friends, it is now Friday, and you are free.


Being a college student isn't always easy. The trick is for every annoying thing that happens to you that day just remember something small you did. Trust me, it will help a lot.

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.
