15 Things You Know To Be True If You Go To A Small College

Going to a small college is a blessing and a curse. You know so many people, it's easy to get around your small campus and you're on a first-name basis with your professors. It has its ups and it definitely has its downs, but you love your little school nonetheless.

1. There is no such thing as skipping a class.

When you go to a small college, you basically are the class, so when you don't show up your professors know and may even call you out on it the next day.

2. Is sleeping in class an actual thing?

At a small college, there is no sitting in the back of a classroom and getting sleep. The classrooms are small and the professors see everything.

3. Texting is also out of the question.

If your professor doesn't allow you to have your phone out in class, it definitely isn't going to happen.

4. You run into your friends or the person you like all the time.

It's actually kind of nice to run into people you like, well, unless you're having a bad hair day or didn't have time to look cute that morning.

5. You also will run into people you don't like.

Running into people you like is one thing, but you will run into people you don't like all the time. It's actually pretty terrible.

7. You may or may not have football.

Isn't it a sin to live in the south and not have football? Or something like that?

8. What's a tailgate?

No football, no tailgate. Simple as that.

9. You're probably stuck in a town that doesn't have much to do.

The most fun you have is your weekly trip to Walmart.

10. The dating pool is extremely small, almost non-existent.

And he's probably dated or talked to one of your friends, so he's off-limits.

11. You know your president and your president knows you.

12. You've gotten used to people not knowing where your school is.

Your conversations probably go something like this, "I go to ____." "Oh that's cool. Where is that again?"

13. You are probably in more than one club.

It's a small campus, so if you're involved you're probably in more than one club.

14. Everyone will know your business.

15. Talking to friends at big universities will make you jealous.

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.
