Career Faqs

Some people say that college is the best four years of your life, and for the most part, many people would agree with them. College is when you finally begin to get an idea for who you really are as an individual, on your own and figuring life out for yourself one little step at a time. You do your laundry on your own, you figure out your next meal without your mom cooking it for you and yelling at you to come out of the hobbit-hole you call a room and for the first time, you are free to make the grades that come with the work you choose to put in.

However, college can very easily become a little "too" work. Yes, college is a privilege. Yes, college is there to further your education and to allow you to have all your hopes and dreams come to life in later years, but college is also a time to explore and to have fun before the nitty-gritty of life really kicks in. So, to make sure that college isn't all work, we've come up with a little list so you can have some fun with college as well. As the great Wiz Khalifa once said, "Work hard, play hard."

  1. Go on a weekend road trip with friends.
  2. Pull an all-nighter trying to study for midterms or finals.
  3. Become addicted to coffee.
  4. Travel to a different country.
  5. Change majors five times.
  6. Debate dropping out because of one class you need for your major.
  7. Do the Disney college program.
  8. Go skydiving.
  9. Go to a frat party.
  10. Hike a mountain.
  11. Have one stereotypical college spring break.
  12. Go scuba diving.
  13. Go to a concert for your favorite band.
  14. Go to Waffle House at 3 a.m.
  15. Learn to play an instrument.
  16. Get a tattoo.
  17. Go to tailgates and sport events.
  18. Take a class that’s outside of your major.
  19. Make a friend who doesn’t go to your university.
  20. Try out Greek life!
  21. Join a club that pushes you outside of your comfort zone.
  22. Do a study-abroad program.
  23. Spend one semester taking summer classes.
  24. Surprise your family by coming home for a weekend, unplanned.
  25. Go to a rodeo (or a bull-riding competition, just trust me).
  26. Streak through a popular campus hangout spot. (PSA: this is just a suggested list of things to do, we are not responsible for you getting caught by the good ol’ campus police, but we will wholeheartedly laugh if you do)
  27. Run for a leadership position in a club you’re passionate about.
  28. Try every food item in the dining hall.
  29. Make cookies and pass them out to procrastinating students in the library.
  30. Dance on a table.
  31. Sneak into the school’s football stadium at night.
  32. BAR CRAWL.
  33. Join a random protest.
  34. Take full advantage of all the student discounts you get.
  35. Try not to fail out.

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.
