As a senior in college, I have picked up a few things when it comes to being a college student and figuring out how to feed myself. Here's a list of things that I am sure most students can relate to:

1. Leftovers


It's okay to not eat everything when you go out every once in a while. It's better to have 2 meals that are $5.99, than one meal that's $12 (even though they aren't always the greatest reheated). Basically, you're saving money.

2. Homework on the table is acceptable.

We've all been there. Just try not to get any food stains on the paper.

3. It's okay for cereal to be all 3 meals (including dessert).


Conveniency is the name of the game, especially when zooming from class to class.

4. Speaking loudly to get your point across.


With so many rambunctious and loud people in the caf, it would be almost rude to speak softly.

5. Late night TBR's are common.

If you have any doubts about why 24-hour fast food exists, between studying for midterms and finals, you gotta have something to get you through those late nights. Plus, you get to keep some quality memories for years to come.

6. Never assume someone else is paying (even when dating).


It's safe to assume most everyone is broke, and as lovely as it is for us girls to be taken out, we gotta cut the guys some slack.

7. Always accept free food.


Let's face it, food always tastes better when you don't have to pay. If there's one thing to take from this, ALWAYS accept food when someone offers it to you.

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.
