30 Things You Learn in College

Asher Roth loved college, but what exactly makes college the best four five years of your life? And what else do you learn at college besides your basic schooling?

  1. Surround yourself with people you want to be like
  2. 50 cent corn dog days at Sonic are treasured
  3. It’s ok to go to Sonic 4-5 times that day
  4. It’s okay not to please everyone
  5. You need to make time for yourself. You can fall into the routine of school and extracurricular activities and forget to make “me” time
  6. But don’t have so much “me” time that you never turn off Netflix and leave your room.
  7. Join an organization that you are passionate about. Love "Harry Potter?" Join the Harry Potter Alliance Club.
  8. Don’t worry about what other people think of you
  9. It’s okay to change your major
  10. Multiple times
  11. You need to start sticking up for yourself
  12. Take your classes seriously, because unlike freshman year, you WILL use this stuff later in life
  13. Tell your parents if you fail a class
  14. Start networking. You need references when you start applying for jobs
  15. Go on Spring Break. You won’t get one in the real world
  16. You’re probably going to drink. When you do, always have a DD before you go out
  17. It’s ok to stay in and watch movies on a Friday night
  18. Apply for your dream internship/job. The worst they can say is “no”
  19. Go explore your college town
  20. Your best friends in high school may not be your best friends in college. It’s okay people change and grow apart. But always remember where you started
  21. Call your parents once a week
  22. They miss you more than you miss them
  23. You’re not alone
  24. Or “single forever”
  25. Go on dates
  26. Fall in love
  27. End a relationship if you don’t see a future with them
  28. Make a best friend of the opposite sex
  29. Energy drinks are your friend. Also, your enemy (i.e. kidney stones)
  30. You are having the time of your life. Take it all in

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.
