But really though.

26 Things I'd Rather Do Than Study

As I sit here not studying in this beautiful library that smells like body odor and tears, I came to the realization that there are so many other things I would spend my time doing rather than study. So instead of focusing on my studies, I put together this list I like to call “26 Things I’d Rather Do Than Study.” 

My mom and my GPA may hate me, but I sure did have a jolly time coming up with these.     

1. Tell a kindergarten class that Santa isn’t real.

2. Run through the quad yelling “AMURRICA.”

3. Clean the gum under every desk in the library.

4. Count how many steps it takes to walk the Great Wall of China.

5. Read “50 Shades of Grey” to my grandma.

6. Sit front row at a Clay Aiken concert.

7. Perform a dance routine to “Stayin' Alive” at a funeral.

8. Be a fraternity pledge for a week.

9. Have my wedding reception in the testing center.

10. Clean the Statue of Liberty with a toothbrush.

11. Sit in a tiger cage for an hour wearing a dress made of filet mignon.

12. Throw away a perfectly good pizza.

13. Hop around campus with my shoelaces tied together.

14. Figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. 

15. Tattoo “turn up” on my forehead.

16. Go on a roller coaster after eating two burritos.

17. Play patty-cake with a cactus.

18. Make my composite picture my profile picture on Facebook (trust me, it’s rough).

19. Watch “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and every time Kim takes a selfie I have to slap a random person in the face.

20. Be a bathroom attendant at a bar downtown.

21. Swim in a pool of freshly brewed coffee.

22. Tell a group of sorority girls that Starbuck’s no longer sells Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

23. Volunteer as tribute for The Hunger Games.

24. Play kickball barefoot on the sun.

25. Count Bill Gates' money by hand.

26. Cook bacon in front of a family of pigs.     

That’s all, folks. Now let me get back to watching Netflix... I mean studying.

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.
