Do you remember some events in history that did not affect college students at all?


1. When the dinosaur age failed to impact our lives

Even though the Paleolithic Age was a long time ago and it created much of the world today, we still have no record of what it has done for our current lives.

2. The moment when Gandhi was discriminating against South Africans

I know how much we all appreciate Mahatma Gandhi. However, our favorite Gandhi believed that other people were inferior to Caucasian people.

3. When both World War 1 and 2 did more to seal the world than break it

Those bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and those wars with Eastern Europe created a more unified eastern and western relation today. That being said, Putin is NOT part of the example.

4. The time Barack Obama left Trump in duty

Our favorite President has to leave us. With that said, he leaves a racist and dominating Republican in charge of controlling the White House and the nation's politics. Go America!

5. When the #MeToo movement led to gun control uproar

Many protest marches have been going on against sexist acts in the country. In order to expose the harsh reality behind sexual assaults and violence against women, American ladies have tried to expose men for there own wrong doings. As a result, kids have begun protesting against gun violence in schools. Kids have taken charge of politics.

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.
