5 Tell Tale Signs You Are A College Student

1. You are always tired.

No matter how much sleep you get, or how little sleep you get, you constantly feel exhausted. Those 8:00 a.m.s, 9:00 a.m.s, and even 10:00 a.m.s, are just too early for you, and you know waking up for them will only lead to a long, tiring day. You look for any period of time during your day to take a nap, even if it's 15 minutes in between your classes. However, no amount of sleep will help you from feeling tired, and that's just something you've accepted at this point.

2. You are always broke.

You have come to learn how to survive with only a few dollars in your bank account. And the times you do get money, either from working or from your parents, it seems to disappear quicker than ever, despite trying to save it.

3. You are always unsatisfied after you eat a meal at your cafeteria.

As an underclassman you very often eat at the cafeteria. Unless you decide to starve yourself for some meals, I really don't blame you. Sometimes the cafe food is just plain gross, and there seems to never be a time you are fully satisfied after eating there. But, admit it, when you go home for breaks, one of the biggest reasons you are so excited is because you know you get to eat a home cooked meal.

4. You are always in a rush.

You're late for class, finishing a paper minutes before it's due, rushing back to your room because you forgot something. Things just seem to be one big rush for you, but it is not something that is out of the norm. However, you do wish things would slow down a bit so you could take a breather and relax.

5. You are always asking yourself questions.

"What am I going to do with my life after college?" "I picked a major, but what do I even want to do with it in the future?" "When is this paper due?" "Will this be on the exam?" "What on earth is that girl wearing?" "Who are you?" You ask yourself a lot of questions. A lot.

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.
