College is a strange, strange time.

Ask any college student and they’ll probably tell you that they, in fact, have no idea what they’re doing. Just in general.

And sometimes that comes out in the form of weird outfits that people actually wear on campus and even to class. I’m not just talking about pajamas or athletic clothes: I’m talking about costumes, out-of-the-ordinary-clothing, and everything in between.

I know there’s usually a reason that people do this, and I don’t pretend to know what they are. So let’s have some fun and take these out of context. Enjoy!

1. A completely normal outfit completed with hamburger slippers


Yeah, you heard me right. Just the typical, college-kid athletic clothes with hamburger slippers instead of shoes. I'm being 100% serious when I say that I admire this person so much; they are my hero. It takes a lot to pull off hamburger slippers with any outfit, but they managed to do it. And I’m jealous, honestly.

2. A banana costume

Yes, like the ones they sell at Halloween stores. Just picture a banana waiting for a crosswalk and checking their phone casually. I've actually seen this situation happen more than once at my time at UGA, believe it or not.

3. A "Where's Waldo" outfit


OK, so this actually isn’t that strange on UGA’s campus. When a group of pledges for a certain fraternity rush, they have to dress up like (or at least wear a similar shirt too) Where’s Waldo on Wednesdays. It became a regular sight. Which is strange to hear, I’m sure.

4. A shark onesie

Because who says you can't celebrate shark week year round? I'm honestly considering getting one of these for myself because 1) I love sharks and 2) I would literally just walk around singing the "Jaws" theme song.


5. Tarzan

At one point a few years ago, Tarzan appeared on campus to promote the on-campus Tarzan musical that was premiering. I am including the yelling and climbing trees as part of his outfit because I can.


6. A Gumby costume

You might think that this would be fun to see, but I’m actually sorta freaked out by Gumby. Again, imagine the crosswalk situation, but Gumby is standing there. Menacingly. Not so fun now, is it? I'm not a fan of this, obviously-- just look at him.


7. A gingerbread man costume

I feel like even on a college campus, this wouldn’t be a typical costume you’d see. Bravo, gingerbread man, for adding some originality to the game. Also, rest assured that if I ever saw this person and worked up the courage to talk to them, I'd ask if they knew the muffin man.


I definitely missed some, but with a campus as big as the University of Georgia I’m very likely to. What are some of the weirdest, most wonderful things you’ve seen people wear at your college? Let me know!

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.
