20 Classic College Mistakes

College is notorious for mistake-making. Your easy, sheltered world does a complete 180. You NEVER really know which way is left and which way is right. I don't think that ever changes.

1. Spending all your money that you don't have on pizza, food trucks, froyo, you name it.

2. The greatest deal of procrastination. Such procrastination that you actually impress yourself with how much you can get done in such a short amount of time.

3. Failing to check your email and missing the email from your teacher about class being cancelled. *Sitting in class alone wondering where everyone is*

4. Showing up to an exam half drunk.

5. Going to the library with that one friend you can never be serious with. Then, you wonder why you got one sentence down of your 5 page paper in 1 hour.

6. Taking advantage of the campus event's free food a little too much. "Y'all got snacks?" Boom. Freshman 15.

7. Having no type of savings account.

8. Telling yourself that a frat boy could one day make a potential boyfriend. Maybe, just maybe. If you breed them just right. Nope.

9. Eating the desserts in the dining hall. They aren't worth it.

10. Getting trapped in "Netlfix & Chill."

11. Not peeing before bed after a night of drinking and wetting the bed because of it...

12. Wearing your favorite shoes in a frat basement. R.I.P.

13. I hate to say it: Having a boyfriend or girlfriend your freshman year of college.

14. You end up doing things that you couldn't tell a soul. (Especially mom and pops)

15. Using snapchat excessively on a night out. Someone is bound to see you dancing like an idiot on your story before you delete it the next morning.

16. Surrounding yourself with the wrong kinds of people. Your college career is too short to spend it with people that suck.

17. Sipping vodka instead of water the morning after.

18. Getting emotionally attached to the nice boy who bought you pizza. He has motives.

19. Stressing over trivial things: Your boyfriend from home, being broke, what you did last night, etc.

20. Not taking the chances you should have.

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.
