14 Things All College Students Should Do Before Graduating

They say that the real world is just like college, but with no finals and worse drink specials. They also say that college is the best four years of your life and within a blink of an eye, it's over. That being said, make the most of your time in school with your friends before it's time to turn the tassel!

1. Do and say stupid college kid things that are only okay for stupid college kids to do and say.

2. Like only eating meals when cooking them is also known as reheating things in the microwave.

3. Day drink during your school's special day-drinking events because happy hour doesn't start until 5 p.m. in the real world.

4. If you haven't already been going to class looking like a homeless person, now is your last chance.

Everyone already knows that you can rock a pair of hoop earrings and thigh-high boots on the weekend anyway.

5. Take part in at least one crazy school tradition (streaking, jumping in the school fountain, etc.).

6. Be friends with anyone.

There is no time for cliques when the "best four years of your life" are about to come to an end.

7. Take advantage of being a top dog senior at least once.

8. Go to a party where you don't know anyone and meet someone new.

9. Take advantage of cheap college bar specials and go out and dance with all of your closest friends.

Especially on tables.

10. Go ahead and have a good old college one night stand.

No one's judging.

11. Cry because you're going to graduate college even if you don't know what to do next.

12. Smile because you're going to graduate college even if you don't know what to do next.


13. Don't forget to thank the people who helped you get through the past four years (friends, family, professors).

14. Celebrate that you will no longer be a broke college student, and will soon be a somewhat broke almost kind of an adult!

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.
