7 Ways To Spot Freshman

1. They immediately write their newly given emails on everything and don't realize how much of a colossal mistake that is yet. Do not give your email to every one that ask at the Org fair. Its a trap.

2. They are caring paper print outs of their schedules with the room numbers on it, hard core squinting at buildings for markings to distinguish which one is which. (Is this the engineering building or science building??!) Honestly just ask an upperclassman. Make a friend!

3. They are legitimately Running to class...no just no. It honestly wasn't necessary senior year of high school and it Definitely isn't now. So just don't. Take the L and be a few minutes late. 90% of the time your Professor won't care.

4. They accidentally call their Professor "Mr/s". Fastest way to accidentally insult and annoy a professor. just stick to "Professor" or "Doctor" if you have to.

5. They are wearing all of their high school apparel. My favorite is the letter man jacket you pay so much for, probably wear the first week of school, and then bury in your closet until you go back to your high school for Homecoming.

6. When a sorority or fraternity member approaches them their first reaction is equivalent to avoiding someone sneezing in their direction because their only exposure to Greek life thus far has been Animal House and Neighbors. Thank you Zack Efron for that wonderful introduction....(sarcasm)

7. The phrase "Thirsty Thursday" might as well be a foreign holiday they have never heard of, and drinking during the week sounds just as bad as making out with the preachers daughter in their heads and they just seem appalled at the thought. Don't worry freshman, give it about a month or two and you will be surprised how fast your learning curve is.

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.
