College students are truly a different species all in their own way. Here's just a few things we do:

1) You've mastered watching Netflix and listening to a lecture all at the same time.


2) Getting ready in the dark because you're running late? Check.


3) You've worn the same outfit at least four times in a row

4) You've given up caring how you look when going to class.

5) You pray every night December-February that it'll snow so classes get cancelled.


6) "Hit me, I dare you," you say as you cross the street and a car approaches.


7) Debating if it's really worth it to buy that textbook.


8) You've mastered the art of studying until 2 am the night before an exam and still get an A.


9) Waking up each morning and debating if you can skip class or not.

10) The stab you feel when the professor says the word limit for a aper.


11) Midterm season makes you want to clock out, finals season is even worse.

12) Second semester is the worst semester.


13) Christmas break is never long enough, even if it is a month long.


14) Holding your breath after walking up stairs so no one knows how out of shape you are.


15) You're greatest achievement is finishing all 9 seasons of a show in a single weekend.

16) Passing the gym every day saying tomorrow will be the day you start going.


17) Refreshing your email before a class just to make sure you didn't miss the 'class is cancelled' email.


18) Submitting a paper right as it's due.


19) For commuters: silence on the drive to campus, music blasting as you're leaving.


20) Avoiding 8 ams like the plague.

21) You use Rate My Professor as you walk into the class for the first time.


22) Free is your favorite word.


23) Naps are always on your list of things to do for that day.


24) You know that your study guide will never contain everything that will be on the exam.


25) You spend all your money on food and retail therapy.

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.
