21 Little Things Every College Girl Should Do Before Turning 21

Jordyn

1. Get yourself a good group of friends.

A core group of friends will always be the ones to help cheer you up when you are down.

2. You don't need a boy to define you.

Not having a boyfriend does not mean anything, it means you can be independent and do things on your own.

3. Nothing is as big of a deal as you think.

When you have little fights with friends, work it out because it is not the end of the world and you will need them.

4. Take time for yourself.

You don't always need to be out, relax, rest, and lay in bed longer than you normally do

5. Binge watch shows on Netflix.

It is completely okay to finish a season of a show in one night.

6. A night in with the girls is always needed.

You don't always need to go out, a movie night is always therapeutic.

7. Chinese food solves all problems.

Movie night and Chinese. What more do you need?

8. Just call your mom to say hi.

When you are having a bad day she is always able to cheer you up.

9. Live in the moment.

Be actively present and engaging in the activities surrounding you.

10. It is what it is.

You can't change what life throws at you, so accept it and move on and keep pushing forward.

11. If you run out of clothes, go through your friend's closet.

When you get bored of your closet, raiding your friends closet will always help.

12. Your GPA is not the end of the world.

Just because you do not have the highest GPA in your friend group does not mean you aren't smart.

13. Go shopping to get rid of your stress.

Use a day at the mall for some stress relief.

14. Friends become family.

Sometimes family isn't always there so the friends that surround you will become your new family.

15. Use a friend's shoulder to cry on.

When you are having a bad day, crying on a friend's shoulder will make it a little easier.

16. Go to sleep early.

Turn your phone off and go to bed, it will help distract you from the stress and anxiety.

17. You can overcome tragedy.

Yes losing someone is terrible but you grow from it and that will shape you into the person you will become.

18. Cook a nice dinner.

Go to the grocery store, buy food and cook a nice dinner, instead of eating a frozen pizza.

19. Stay out late.

Sometimes a night out will help distract you from what is going on.

20. Go out for dinner even when you don't have a lot of money.

Having dinner out with friends let's you relax and you make memories and forget all about the work to be done.

21. Be spontaneous.

Spur of the moment plans make the best memories.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
