3 Mottos Every College Woman Should Live By
FT Photo Diary

1. "Better to look back and say 'oops,' than 'what if.'"

You are only a young, carefree college student once. This is the time of your life when you have the least responsibilities (although it may feel like the every problem in the world rests on you). This is the time to make learning mistakes without huge consequences. Now is when you make the college memories that later you will laugh over and think "that was probably a bad idea." Instead of, "I wish I would have had more fun." With that in mind, let loose and go for it!

2. Fake it 'til you make it.

Because, let's be honest, we are all out here pretending we know exactly what we are doing. In reality, each of us is just faking it in the hopes that one day, we really will know what we're doing. The key, though, is to look like you have it together. Success comes from confidence. And confidence is achieved through believing you can do it whatever you don't yet know you're trying to do. In the end, nobody has a clue what direction his or her life is headed. Let life take you by storm, but do it with confidence.

3. "Everything happens for a reason."

We understand. Life sucks sometimes. You fail a class, lose your dream guy, and have an explosive fight with your best friend all in the same fifteen minutes. Day like this happen. But, maybe it all happened so that you would re-take the class, meet your true best friend for life in it, and then marry your soulmate who's also her brother. We never know why life works the way it does, only that it will all work out in the long run.

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.
