6 Tips Every College Girl Should Know

Does the saying, "Girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider,” pack more of a punch than a guy saying, “You hit like a girl,"? Exactly. Saying someone “hits like a girl” is berating their throw, but why does it have to be a girl? It’s a trend for girls to be overly emotional and soft. Well, let’s go to college, ladies.

1. It is okay to be yourself

We sometimes get deterred of what’s actually fun and what everyone else thinks is fun. If you enjoy playing with Yu-Ge-O cards or binge-watching High School Musical till the sun comes up, do you, girl, as long as you’re still passing!

2. Get involved!

Even if it means a study group with 3 people, find something that won’t leave you confined in your dorm room alone all day because it will drive you crazy. Figure out what works for you, then do it!

3. You may not find love right now and that's okay.

We can all agree that college takes up at least ninety percent of our time. With the professors and school work, there’s a lot on your plate other than boys. Most importantly, it is not a matchmaking service that has a one hundred percent chance guaranteed or your money back. There will be a moment where you find love and it’s okay if it’s not now.

4. Even if he breaks your heart, that's still okay.

Reverting back to number two, college isn’t a dating resort. If a jerk ends up breaking your heart, he may have watched too much American Pie and didn’t realize you were much better than that. Don’t let him bring you down. Instead, convert the time spent with him into studying. Can we say, “4.0 GPA,”?

5. There will be mean girls.

You may end up with one or two girls who snarl and make manner less comments about anything pertaining to you as if they are perfect. It’s in their blood. As long as you know that your shirt isn’t on backwards and you don’t have lipstick in your teeth, strut to class and forget about the fact that they are going to have way more wrinkles than you due to that constant crinkled, mugged face.

6. Lastly, just chill.

I wore the same snap cap for a whole week because I was too tired to brush my hair. Even for just a day where you only have one class and then studying or reruns of Grey's Anatomy, you basically live at the same place you go to school. Be comfortable. Sleep in the library, better yet, buy a hammock and enjoy relaxation outside of your dorm. We all understand.

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.
