6 Things That Happen As It Gets Colder

Your ways of hiding your coat gets more creative.

6 Things That Happen As It Gets Colder

With the temperatures dropping quickly and with the realization that blizzards can be real (goodbye, Jonas), normal things start to change as you realize that dang, it's pretty cold outside.

1. Your coat comes out with you everywhere and you hide it in places of random people's homes.

I don't care if it's not stylish, you better believe I'm wearing my obnoxious parka that keeps me nice and warm. And as soon as I get to wherever I'm going, I'm stashing it to get later. There's no way I'm going to freeze walking from place to place.

2. The urge to drive across campus grows.

Though it may just be a 15-minute walk, it feels so much longer when it's cold out. Especially after the sun goes down, it just feels so much nicer to ride in a car.

3. Sweatpants over a dress are a necessity.

For events where you actually do have to wear a dress and have bare legs, it's always nice to invest in a pair of large sweatpants to throw on over. May not be the cutest look, but it sure is the warmest look.

4. More soup and hot coffee, please!

You may be someone who never has soup and really only likes iced coffee, but when you realize your iced coffee is freezing as you walk across campus, it's a no brainer to switch over to hot coffee.

5. Staying in bed seems so much nicer.

Staying in bed for the day always seems nice. But when it's below freezing and you know you won't be able to bear the cold wind, staying in bed with some blankets always beats going outside.

6. You start looking up flights to much warmer destinations.

It doesn't hurt to look up how much it would cost to get to Florida right now...

Whether it's looking for a nice warm beach or layering up, we all try to find the way to cope with the cold and look forward to warmer temperatures.

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.
