31 Things College Students Are Thankful For

1. Instant mac & cheese/ ramen noodles

Because who has time to cook anyways?

2. Sparknotes

Because who has time to read the whole book?

3. Wikipedia

The source of all knowledge.

4. No class on Fridays

5. Netflix

6. Alcohol

Nothing better than the warm embrace of Franzia.

7. Flex Points (or Dining Dollars or whatever else you want to call them)

Because who can afford to spend actual money on food?

8. Naps

9. Coffee

How else are you supposed to make it through the day?

10. Cancelled classes

The best email you could ever receive.

11. Game Days

A valid excuse for not getting any work done and drinking copious amounts of alcohol.

12. Events with free food

FREE. FOOD. Need I say more?

13. The fact that it's acceptable to wear pajamas to class

14. Random hookups

Because once you enter the real world this isn't as socially acceptable or easy to come by.

15. Bars that don't card/ aren't strict on fake ID's

16. Uber

Because I got really tired of getting ripped off by cabs.

17. Going home for the holidays

When else can you get a home cooked mean?

18. Having a "free" gym membership

19. Sleeping in

20. Classes that don't take attendance

21. And aren't discussion based

22. Student discount

That 20% off really makes a difference.

23. The Career Center

Who else is going to help you find a job after graduation?

24. Classes that start at noon

25. Extensions on assignments

26. The library

Where else are you supposed to get sh*t done?

27. That one attractive person in your class

Because who else are you supposed to stare at to help pass the time?

28. Curves on tests

Otherwise, there's no way I would've passed Chemistry or Calculus.

29. Opportunities

You get to work with some of the best people or travel to the coolest places and it's all relevant to you attaining your degree.

30. Your parents

For their unconditional love and support always.

31. The friends you make

The only reason you manage to make it through 4 years of ups and downs

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.

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.
