2. "How long does it take until this expires?"

At home you would usually be the one to keep track of what's good and what's bad.


3. "How do I get this stain out?"

I need this shirt to wear tomorrow, but it has a really noticeable stain.


4. "I need a pedicure so bad."

My toes need some real work done, but I don't want to pay for it. I hope you picked up on that.

5. Can you venmo me money?

Well...

6. "Can you facetime me, but just so I can see the dog?"

I really want to see his cute face.

7. "What did you do today?"

I'm bored and feel out of the loop. Tell me all about what you did at home.

8. "This professor makes me want to fling myself off a building. I might just drop out."

Sometimes I really don't get what is going through my professors' minds.

9. "Can we go on vacation?"

Yeah, I can't "adult" anymore. I need a break.

10. "Hey. I'm bored in class."

Please distract me even though I really probably should be paying attention.

11. "You better have bagels, pizza and pasta ready for me when I come home."

I miss all the good food spots from at home, and I miss having your home cooked meals every night.

12. "What should I take if I have a cough?"

Motrin? Advil? Tylenol? Aleve? All 4?

13. "Can you order this on Amazon Prime for me so I don't have to pay for it?"

I know I could probably find it at a store nearby, but I would really rather not get out of bed if it isn't necessary and I also don't want to spend my own money on it.

14. "I didn't eat today because the food makes me want to vomit, but I'm also too broke to buy food from somewhere else."

It's like eating garbage at this point.

15. "Can you send me a care package?"

Getting mail is exciting and my candy stash is running low.

16. "I don't even want anything for Christmas. I just need money."

Like previously mentioned, my wallet is empty.

17. "What should I pack?"

Everything I've needed has been in my dorm with me for months, and I have no idea what I will and won't need when I leave.

18. "How do I refill my prescription?"

I have no idea how to "adult."

19. "I'm never taking an early class ever again."

If I get stuck with another early class next semester, be prepared for all the complaints.

20. "I hate boys. Make me feel better."

Enough said.

21. "I love you and can't wait to see you!"

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.
