25 Things You'll Learn In College

College is a funky time, and you’re only an undergrad once. It’s an awkward in-between time of being a full-grown adult, and still relying on your family to sometimes give you money for groceries. Within your time in college, it’s a learning experience for everyone.

Some things you’ll learn sooner than others.

1. Have fun, you’re only in college once.

2. Do something you never thought you would ever do.

3. Go for that extra slice of pizza, it won’t kill you. There's never a bad time for pizza.


4. You will make it through college although those late nights may eventually catch up to you.

5. Prioritizing is the key to happiness.

I hate to break it to you, if you don't already know, you can't join every club on campus. There's not enough time in the day for that.

6. Set a routine, or you’ll get lost in all your time.

7. Find something you enjoy doing, it’ll help you keep your sanity.

Find something that makes you happy, whether it be going to the gym, reading, or writing.

8. Ben & Jerry’s will always be a great comfort food.

For those incredibly hard college days when you find yourself down in the dumps, Ben & Jerry's will always one of the greatest "pick-me-ups."

9. Your friends will support you, even through your most ridiculous things.


10. Sometimes your friends will have to tell you to “take a chill pill” -- don’t take it too seriously.

11. Feel comfortable with what you’re wearing, don’t let anyone judge you.

12. There’s always time, you just need to find it.

13. Life get’s crazy more often than not.

14. Sleep sometimes might be hard to come by, but remember to eventually sleep.

15. Life isn’t always rainbows and butterflies.

16. That one glass of wine won’t kill you.

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

17. If you’re not happy, it’s time to make a change.

You're in control of your own happiness.

18. It’s OK to get a B, it won't be the end of the world.

19. Late nights are the best nights.

20. Don’t compare your accomplishments to the accomplishments of others.

Others are not you. Be proud of what you do and what you have done. Don't dwell on what you haven't done.

21. 8 a.m. classes will always be the worst.

No matter how much you try to convince yourself, going to that 8 a.m. class will be a killer.

22. Professors actually want you to go to their office hours.

23. Eat some vegetables occasionally, it’ll give your mom some peace of mind.

24. Don’t forget to call your mom, she misses you.


25. College will be one of the best experiences of your life, don't forget it.

There's nothing like college. It's the only time you can eat a full pizza and not completely hate yourself for it. You're not tied down to anything, it's the time to explore and have fun.

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.
