This is it, the moment you've been waiting for your entire life. COLLEGE. The part of your life where you find out who you are. Do something crazy. Take risks. Eat that Krispy Kreme donut. You're gonna have a great year. However you're going to have plenty of crazy things that will inevitably happen to you. Some are good and some will be bad, but they'll make for the best memories of your life.

1. You'll walk into the wrong class and not realize it until halfway through the syllabus

2. People that just met that day will be dating the next

3. You'll stay up until 4 a.m. hanging out with your friends because you're afraid you'll miss out if you go to sleep

4. Getting in random cars with upperclassmen just because they're upperclassmen

5. Either forgetting to eat or eating all day... Literally no in between

6. Binge watching Netflix when you should be doing homework

7. You start to really miss your hometown

8. Every night at 10:58 you and all of your friends will convince yourselves that Krispy Kreme is needed


9. Wearing your schools name on every shirt

10. You'll sign up for every club and activity only to realize that you have absolutely no time to participate in any of them

11. You'll spend way too much money

12. You'll actually come to terms that you're on your own and no one is going to remind you to wash your clothes

13. You'll realize that your "easy class" is actually your hardest and everyone lied to you

14. Going to class is actually cool, and being friends with your professor is even cooler

15. You'll rearrange your dorm room at least five times before the week is over

16. You will walk A LOT

17. You will meet tons of people, but won't remember their names

18. Your professor will tell you the syllabus is online and go straight to lecture

19. You'll drink way too much coffee

20. You and your roommate will disagree on something

21. You'll sleep past your alarm and miss your 8:30 a.m. class

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.

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.
