13 Questionable Decisions We Make In College That We Apologize To Our Mom For 10 Years Later

If this doesn't get you instantly banned from next year’s family Christmas dinner, I don't know what will. Here are 13 things you do in college your mom probably shouldn't know about.

1. Getting a fake ID.

2. Asking for gas/grocery money and spending it on booze.

3. Saying you’re going to come home one weekend but deciding to go to the bars instead.

4. Calling her at work to ask a dumb question about how long to put something in the oven for.

5. Asking for her advice or opinion on something and then being screwed over for not taking it.

6. Starting to tell your mom a typical college story, but then realizing what you did was illegal, so you have to abort mission.

7. Asking for money for textbooks and never opening them.

8. Picking a major that spends a million dollars per semester on supplies.

9. Complaining about your roommate. Then becoming friends again. Then hating them again. Then forgiving them.

10. Complaining about failing an exam because the professor was an ass, when really you just never showed up to class.

11. Taking homemade leftovers back to school and “forgetting” to give the tupperware/pots/pans back.

12. Moving to a different apartment each school year and asking her to help you move/store your things.

13. Not responding to her texts because you’re too trashed to make any sense.

Consider this my apology, mom.

P.S. I truly am sorry for stealing your Tupperware.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
