A Bad Day In College

We all have bad days, but bad COLLEGE days are a completely different beast.

A Bad Day In College
Sydney Schmidt

Please let me preface this article by saying that I have NOT had a good day. I'm sick, hungry, and exhausted. But this is not just something I am dealing with, these emotions plague most college students every day of the year.

First off, dorm life is the worst. I never realized how disgusting other people were until I began living with 600 nasty teenagers. How do you drop cantaloupe all over the hall? And then how did you make the decision that you were then going to leave it there to accumulate hair and mold. Also, WHY IS THE FLOOR ALWAYS STICKY?! Oh, and who can forget the black mold in our bathroom. Not me! Because it is literally killing me and my suitemate.

Which leads me to my second point, how are all these kids so germy? You would think that we are still in preschool with the way germs spread around this place. I wash my hands so often, but then the nasty kid in the elevator COUGHS IN YOUR MOUTH. YES, THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Don't yawn in public guys, it's deadly.

Next, my old friend the dining hall. Everything we college kids do is childish, but yet our dining hall decides to serve the most adulty nasty food ever. How many college kids do you know that are just always craving fish tacos?? Probably not enough for our dining hall to serve them every week.

And to my last and final point, the exhaustion that comes with being a college student. And not even does the exhaustion alone suck, but also how college students glamorize lack of sleep. Yesterday I heard in the library two girls fighting over who had the least amount of sleep.

Thank you for reading my rant about my horrible day, I hope yours wasn't as horrible.

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.
