1. Getting sick without your mom literally sucks

No, your roommate can't make you chicken noodle soup.

2. You can't miss class when you're sick

You're in college remember?

3. You're going to get an F on a test at some point, but you'll live

I'm sorry, it happens.

4. The caffeine addiction is real

4,5,6 cups of coffee a day, who really knows?

5. People are still immature

College doesn't magically change people

6. You won't do laundry until the last second

Let it pile up.

7. Sometimes it's okay to have a panic attack

Someone else on campus probably is too.

8. People aren't as clean as you are

Community bathrooms and laundry rooms are disgusting.

9. If you eat food in your dorm room, it will stink for three hours to one year

Buy yourself some febreeze.

10. Your Dad isn't there to kill the fat bugs

Spiders still exist in college.

11. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, is sticky

I'm not sure why honestly

12. You're going to feel horrible for the janitor, especially after Saturday

Enough said.

13. If you and your roommate are girls, there will be hair everywhere


And I mean CLUMPS of it.

14. Your pajamas actually become your daily wardrobe

Who has time for fashion anyways?

15. They don't have real butter at the cafeteria and the butter they do have is impossible to spread

Toast is always Sub-par

16. Easy Mac, Ramen, and Rice a Roni are going to be your dinner on a night before a test

Nothing like some good brain food.

17. Someone will steal a piece of your clothing from the laundry room

RIP that one cute bralette.

18. You can do it!

Despite all the shit, living on campus is worth it.

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.

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.
