5 Daily Thoughts Of A College Student
Pattie Ruth

Your alarm goes off and you immediately regret taking that 8 am. You hit snooze for the third time and realize that you now only have twenty minutes to get to class. You throw some clothes on and just hope they’re clean. You walk in and pray that there wasn’t a homework assignment due. You tell yourself it’s too early to comprehend what the teacher is saying and then you start thinking about how you got this far. Your mind starts wondering:

When is nap time?

You base your whole day around when you can get a nap in. As soon as you wake up in the morning, you are already counting down the hours till naptime. You might not even make it back to your dorm room before you catch yourself falling asleep in the library.

Can you make that a double?

Double shot of espresso. Of course. Lots of coffee. We know where the closest Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks is located. You don’t even mind spending $4 on a cup of coffee because you know you wouldn’t make it through the day.

New season of Grey's is now on Netflix!

You know you should be studying or doing homework, but instead, you have just started the latest series. When you get a break between classes, you base your time on how many episodes you can watch until your next class.

YES, I have three pairs of leggings in the same color.

It’s officially autumn. It’s acceptable to wear leggings and big sweatshirts every day. You don’t even care that you look like a hobo going to class. On a good day you might even throw on a nice shirt, but you’ll still have on your leggings. You don’t want to get too crazy.

How many days 'til Santa comes?

Fall break may have just finished, but our mindset now is getting through the semester. You’re already counting down the days till 25 days of Christmas on ABC Family.

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.
