Depending on who you are what you look like the police system may or may not be a positive influence on your everyday existence. With many recent events involving high rates of police brutality and a severe lack of training among the police force, I can understand why one wouldn't be a fan of the current legal system. To make matters worse, the police force doesn't seem to catch or care for plenty of lawbreakings that are currently undergoing the generation (which might be pretty awesome for you).

These are the top illegal activities young adults get away with almost ALL the time...

1. Smoking Weed in Public

It doesn't matter where at — the neighborhood park, an alley outside of your school, or literally walking on the sidewalk outside of one's house. The cops never seem to find out or see you.

2. Illegal Movie Streaming

This is more so a higher government matter, but if you're a broke college student, you know the struggle of affording Netflix, Hulu, and Spotify all at the same. Illegal movie streaming websites, like Putlocker.is, then keeps your bank account in check. Although if you get caught, you could be paying a lot more than your college tuition.

3. Peeing Outside

It's a free country yet I think we forget that this doing is actually illegal for being "too sexual" for the general public. When you gotta go though you gotta go.

4. Underage Drinking

"So Friday night, what's the plan?

"House party at Micheal's?"

"Oh this Saturday, too? Cool. I got you on the liquor!"

5. Snap-chatting/Texting While Driving

When your favorite song comes on, it's only instinctive to grab your phone and video yourself dancing (especially when you're with your girls). Plus, the car is the perfect place to show people that you're making moves while looking cute. (Luckily, you'll only get in trouble if you're the one actually driving).

6. Plagiarizing Different Artists

With Instagram now so engraved with our everyday basis, many users have begun to use other people's art to post for the sake of their aesthetic. Many times these profiles aren't even caught unless someone important is really creeping on your page and reports you. Yikes!

7. Getting Fake IDs

Someone has to get the liquor for the party Saturday night.

On a more important note, I remember one time seeing the cops catch younger females with fake IDS and letting them keep them! No charge or anything (LBS).

8. Salutary Rape

Out of all the situations, this is the most crucial dilemma undergoing the current generation. Universities from all over the world continue to fight the power of non-consented sex, yet it still occurs for many women (and possibly males) throughout our college education system.

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.
