21 Signs You're a College Student
Dalton Campbell

College is that awkward stage where teenagers and twenty-somethings are wandering around trying to figure out how to "adult," and how to find all the loopholes they can while also taking on a new, much bigger world. The world is your oyster, but unfortunately, you'll probably go home with food poisoning.

1. You haven’t gone to the grocery store in, well, you don’t even know how long


2. And when you do go, you have the budget to afford about half a stick of butter

3. Your planner looks like the aftermath of a catastrophe- a color coded catastrophe

4. People barging into your room is something that doesn’t phase you, even though sometimes it probably should

5. You grab any and all of the free stuff you can

6. You get creative with how to bring food back- in bulk- from the dining halls/anywhere that has food

6. You feel a certain contempt for a little something called “TopHat”

7. “What’s the address?”

8. The pure bliss you feel when you get the “Class is cancelled” email

9. You weren’t a fan of public transportation? Now, you are.

10. You used to need silence to sleep? Now, you definitely don’t.

11. A lot of the times you fall asleep, it's definitely not in a bed

12. You don’t have the luxury of toilet paper with more than one, painfully thin ply

13. Your laundry pile is really more of a questionably large mountain

14. You've seen pretty much everything that Netflix has to offer

15. Home cooked meals are a thing of dreams

16. You’ve never been busier, yet you still agree to going out

17. Even though the studying never ends

18. And you've never been more broke

19. You know how to finish an assignment in record breaking time, on a book you never read, the night before it’s due, and get a good grade

20. Calling your parents has become a daily norm

21. You also have huge amounts of pride for your school and all the craziness that comes with it, regardless of all its challenges

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.
