40 Things I've Heard College Students Say

College sometimes (read: always) gets the best of us. It gets hard to use your brain or make sense after being in the library for six hours on a Monday night. Sometimes your brain is, like, "you're on your own, today" and leaves you to drown. Here are some examples of just exactly it means when you get College Brain:

“Did Hurricane Katrina happen?”

“Drinking doesn’t even do anything to your liver, they just say that.”

“If a tree fell onto my car my dad would probably blame me.”

“I can either eat or go out tonight.”

“I have to go to a funeral, but its going to be pretty fun, I think.”

“Can your stomach fall out?”

“I’ve been sick since the first week of January.”

“I have no idea where my car is.”

“They put Benadryl in their drinks.”

“People only voted for me because I had an American flag in my video and that would be, like, a hate crime if you didn’t.”

“You live so close to Mexico Trump will probably deport you.”

“The dining hall makes me feel like I’m at a barbecue.”

“I miss my mom.”

“I want to go home and just, like, lay down.”

“Yo, bro, gimme, like, three dollars, no dude, I need a yogurt parfait.”

“I would do anything just to see a dog right now.”

“I need to go to church, I’m not gonna, but I need to.”

“There’s a baby in the dining hall, I’m leaving.”

“You should seriously see a doctor.”

“Are these marks on the wall from a high heel?”

“I think I gave myself a concussion, by accident this time.”

“I accidentally got wicked drunk.”

“Should we start a fight?”

“Throw a drink.”

“If you see me itch my face, that means I’m itching for a scrap.”

“I did not fall on the floor in that restaurant I made a choice to be on the floor.”

“I really think my parents hate me.”

“That's pretty heteronormative of you.”

“How many beers can I drink before I’m drunk?”

“Can people drink jäger?”

“You look really bad, I’m being a friend.”

“Do you think my professor likes me, like, like likes?”

“You just let me walk around with a booger in my nose?”

“I don’t want a drink, do you think he’ll just give me the seven dollars?”

“I don’t really like my boyfriend.”

“You have throw up in your hair.”

“Where is Donald Trump taking healthcare?”

“Do you think if I call my mom she’ll come get me from the bar?”

“I’m getting cut off, not at the bar, like, by my parents I think.”

“I’m way too gay for this shit.”

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.
