30 Signs That You Lived In Burge Hall During Your Freshman Year

You will never forget your days spent in "Dirty Burge." Here are 30 signs that you got to experience the lovely dorm.


1. Life was a breeze because you could walk downstairs in your pajamas and grab a meal.


2. If you needed a coffee or anything before class, there was always the faithful C-store.


3. You bragged that your residence hall had the biggest rooms on campus.


4. You took a selfie and uploaded it with the geotag "Dirty Burge" at some point.


5. When heels clicked through the hallway, you knew that it had to be the weekend (or Thursday).


6. You were used to drunk people's shenanigans in the elevators.


7. You were also used to drunk people in the hallways. You probably had some of your door decorations missing because of them.


8. You got extremely annoyed when somebody took the elevator to anything lower than the fourth floor.


9. Sometimes, you got into the elevator in order to go back to your dorm, but it decided to make a stop in the basement. When it made the stop in the basement, the person from the basement decided that it was reasonable to ride the elevator to the first floor.

10. You got used to eating different forms of potatoes for dinner (mashed potatoes, fries, baked potatoes, hash browns).



11. Every time a friend who didn't live in Burge saw the hallways, they said that it looked like a prison or a mental asylum.


12. You have a clear memory of walking out of Burge in the spring and smelling the Lilacs.


13. Getting through the lobby was frustrating around noon because of college visits. It was like you were in a zoo and people were watching you in your natural habitat.


14. You became BFF's with the maintenance staff.


15. There were no quiet hours.


16. That kid who you matched with on Tinder lived two floors away from you.


17. There was always some unusual activity going on, but you were used to it.


18. You knew that studying in the lounge wasn't a option unless you wanted to get nothing done. The lounge was the chill spot.



19. You thought that the hallway in the basement that led to Daum was the coolest thing ever.


20. You got a beautiful view of the construction of the new dorm.


21. You were super tight with everyone on your hall and you probably took similar classes, so there was always a study buddy.


22. You felt the urge to fight someone for removing your clothes from the laundry because you came down five minutes late.

23. You knew that Sunday night was the worst time to do your laundry, because everyone did their laundry at that time.


24. Sicknesses went around quite easily!

25. The community showers scarred you for life.


26. You were always down for a late-night Walking Taco or Quesadilla at the C-Store.


27. You were always excited when you got to run down and get your package once the clock hit six.


28. You occasionally ran into someone riding the move-in carts in the hallways.


29. If you had a dime for every time someone set the fire alarm off by making popcorn, you'd have enough money to pay your tuition.


30. Saying goodbye to Burge was one of the hardest things that you've had to do because you made so many memories there.

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.
