15 Thoughts Upperclassmen Have When Coming Back To School

Coming back to college can be stressful, but we seasoned pros as upperclassmen know the deal when it comes to trekking all our belongings from car to room with ease (relatively). And because we finally figured out the easiest way to make this transition, watching the underclassmen struggle is a great source of entertainment, and we can't help but have these thoughts:

1. Seeing and judging the flocks of 20+ freshman girls run around campus trying to find the nearest place to spread their wings and party after finally leaving the nest.

2. Wondering if you ever looked that young, or ever thought low-waisted jeans and a bralette was a good idea.

3. Silently judging all those who walk around campus with Google maps in full swing (we've all been there).

4. Watching in wonderment how the underclassmen's pure virgin eyes haven't seen the HUB or the stadium before and how exciting it all is to them.

5. Feeling like a veteran when checking in at the commons desk.

6. Walking into to commons to get lunch and already knowing what exactly to order since it's been your go-to for years.

7. Looking at your class schedule and actually knowing where all the buildings are.

8. Wondering if any freshmen actually attend the block party they advertise on campus.

9. Finally figuring out that you don't actually need to buy binders anymore and that all you really need is one good pen and a laptop.

10. Feeling like a boss since you can finally have your car on campus and drive to Walmart whenever you want.

11. Strutting into your favorite frat and not having to worry about getting in.

12. Finally knowing the layout of your dorm/ apartment and buying sick decorations accordingly.

13. Having the feeling of the real world settling in as you get bombarded with recruiting emails and job fairs.

14. Stressing about your classes since they actually pertain to your major now.

15. Wishing you could be a freshman again so you could have four more years.

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.
