25 Lies College Students Tell Their Parents

1. Mom honestly, everyone failed that exam.

2. I go out maybe once a week IF THAT and only if I've finished all my work for the next week. 

3. Yeah, I usually wake up early on Sunday mornings and run 5 miles. I like to get my day started early so I can get a good seat at the library!

4. How many shots do I take in a night? Maybe like 3 or 4. 

5. No, I would never drink the jungle juice at a frat. Someone could have put something in that.

6. Formals are a really classy event. 

7. Why didn't I answer your call at 10 pm last Thursday? Oh, right I think I went to bed early that night. 

8. I always use PennWalk instead of walking home alone at 3 AM.

9. I like to stay on top of my work all semester so I don't have to cram for exams.

10. Why did I burser $200? That was definitely for some textbooks I needed.

11. I'm really responsible with my (your) money when I'm out at night.

12. No, I don't have a fake ID. They just let me into Smokes because they think I'm cool. Sorry your child is popular. 

13. I have never eaten at McDonald's at 2 AM.

14. I have never eaten Wawa at 2 AM. 

15. I cook almost every night because health and nutrition are top priorities for me.

16. No, I really don't know what they mean by "Thirsty Thursday".

17. I also don't know what they mean by Smokes "Sink or Swim". Are people hydrating or something?

18. I've already applied to like 10 internships. 

19. The only reason I didn't do well in that class was because the professor was terrible. There was nothing I could do.

20. I'm just not the type of person who skips class.

21. I don't schedule class on Fridays so I can spend all day at the library.

22. Before every exam, I map out a 2 week study schedule and follow it rigorously. 

23. Yeah I definitely drink water when I'm out at night - Gotta keep my BAC in check! 

24. That guy I took to date night? Yeah it's not awkward at all when I see him now!

25. I tell you guys almost everything about my social life!

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.

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.
