25 Signs You're A College Student
Psychology Today

When you become a college student, your life changes quite a bit from when you were in high school. Everything from your eating habits to your sleeping schedule will take a complete 180. College changes the way you think and also the way you view the world as a whole. If you can relate to these signs, then you for sure have morphed from high school to college student.

1. You survive on Ramen Noodles and cereal or anything microwavable.

2. 9 a.m. is still way too early to function.

3. You bring your computer to class just to online shop or watch cat videos.

4. You think $5 is too much for a cheeseburger.

5. Quizlet is your study buddy.

6. You use Rate My Professor to decide what classes to take.

7. You don't wear hats because they're a fashion statement, you wear them to cover up your post-Thursday night party hair.

8. The only time you get a decent meal is when you visit your grandma.

9. Pizza is breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

10. Free is your favorite word.

11. All-nighters are part of your weekly routine.

12. You go to Starbucks to "study" but you're really just there to use their free WiFi to stream Netflix.

13. If an essay is 750 words minimum required, then yours will contain 751 words.

14. You wear the same leggings/jeans three times a week.

15. When your friends ask you to go out with them, you have to wager whether you wanna go out for the night or eat the next week.

16. You know that a study guide will never cover everything that will be on the test.

17. You can only pick two: daily showers, homework turned in on time, social life, or getting enough sleep.

18. You've actually considered dropping out and becoming a stripper.

19. You need a nap or you're super cranky—like a preschooler.

20. You've found a new love for coffee.

21. You're frequently asked, "What's your major?"

22. You, unfortunately, weigh 10 more pounds than you did in high school.

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.

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.
