8 Things Every College Student Absolutely Despises

1. Class on Fridays

After a fun night out with your friends on Thursday (if you go out on Thursdays), no one really wants to wake up for their classes on Friday. Actually, no one wants to go to class on Friday in general. It should be illegal to have classes on Friday's in college. Agreed? Agreed.

2. Laundry days

Whether you live in the dorms, apartment or house, every college student hates doing laundry. Throwing it back to freshman year of college, waiting for a washing machine/dryer in the dorms to be available and worrying if someone was going to steal your new pair of Lulu leggings. Laundry days are the worst.

3. Drowning in homework

It's a never ending cycle of homework. Just when you think you finished all of your assignments, the following week piles more on your plate. Sometimes you're even trying to catch up from last week's reading assignments because it's just too much information. If high school seniors think they have it bad with homework and college applications, just wait until they're actually in college.

4. Mandatory attendance

Let's face it: no matter what time you have a class, it's so hard to get up and leave. It's hard to find motivation as a college student who hardly gets any sleep. It's even worse when attendance is 20% of your grade.

5. Assignments over holidays

Take spring break for example. We all want to have fun and enjoy a week away from school. Getting assignments and exams to study for over the break? Yeah, it completely defeats the purpose of going on a break.

6. Being broke

It's hard to save money when all of your friends want to go out on fun adventures. Paying for Ubers is also hard when no one wants to split the ride with you. We all tell ourselves every day, "Omg I'm sooooo broke" as we continue to online shop and sip on coffee we didn't actually need.

7. When the Starbucks line is long

When there are 10 people in front of you waiting for their drinks and you have an assignment due at 11:59, the long lines can stress you out more. Not to mention, when people don't know their orders.

8. When all the tables at the main library are taken

If you're not at the library earlier than 3 P.M on a Sunday, you're going to have a bad time. The first to third floors of the library are always full, so if you're wanting to focus and get homework done, get there before everyone else.

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.
