5 Websites You Always Find Yourself On In College

When you get to college you find that your laptop, during boring lectures, is your best friend. When I was at home and in high school I never really sat on my laptop, it was really only my phone, but now I can't go a day without finding myself online shopping or looking for random things to buy online as I sit in my Sociology lectures. Here's five of the websites I'm always on now that I'm in college:

1. RedBubble.com

Before I came to college I had never even heard of this site and maybe I’m the only one because when I told people I’ve never heard of it they looked at me like I was crazy. RedBubble is a site where you can get phone cases, sweatshirts, tshirts, etc, but most importantly - stickers. Yes, stickers. Meaning big stickers for your laptop. Now that your laptop is your best friend at college it has to look perfect, so everyone uses this site to get discounted stickers from Vineyard Vines to states to movie/tv show quotes to decorate their laptops.

2. Pinterest.com

I find myself on Pinterest so much now that I’m in college. Before I would go on Pinterest to look up ways to decorate my future dorm room or cool recipes to make for the holidays. But now I always find myself sitting on Pinterest in my classes looking up anything from - fun things to do in DC to ice cream sundaes to cute outfits I wish were in my closet. Definitely a perfect pastime for those boring lectures.

3. Romwe.com

I just found out about this website over the summer through Pinterest. It's an online store where you can buy clothes for cheap prices. They have the cutest sweaters, rompers, dresses, jumpsuits, etc. The only thing I will say for this site is it’s a hit or miss. I’ve ordered three things from there and I have yet to be disappointed, but I know someone who ordered from there and the dress she ordered was nothing what she expected. That being said,just make sure you really look at what you’re buying, but I personally have had nothing but good purchases from this site.

4. Amazon.com

Always a favorite even when I wasn’t in college. Amazon has everything, and if you have Amazon Prime - even better. They get you things shipping within days and it’s right at your door (or in my case - the mailroom) ready to be picked up. From food to laptops to pretty much anything. My roommate uses Amazon Pantry a lot and we get food shipped to us all the time.

5. Pandora.com

Pandora is a well-known one, but I never really used it that much until I got to school. Sure I listened to it every once in awhile, but if I was listening to music at home it would be on the radio while I was driving somewhere, or the music I had on my phone. But now that I’m at school it’s easy to put on while I’m studying or while me and my friends are getting ready to go 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.
