A Basic Girl's Guide To Frat Parties

Cheap liquor, sweaty bodies, and overplayed music.

You strut through the door with all your girls, feeling and looking like Beyoncé as you make your way through the crowd.

As you study the scene, you quickly discover you’re not nearly on the same level as everyone else, so you make a beeline for the bar.

After getting your hands on some shitty flavor vodka, which has touched the lips of every other person in the room, you wince in pain from the taste. Your friends are supportive and accept the disgusting face you just made in public as they grab the bottle from your hands. No turning back now.

Now that you’ve got some liquid courage, you push through the sweaty, entangled bodies and scope out the elevated surfaces.


Once you find a countertop or table to jump on, you grab your friends and pull them up with you. You immediately regret your decision as you discover how many people are watching you dance, and how bad of a dancer you actually are.


Your moment of fame finally comes to an end. You hop down from the stage and look to find your other friends, as you swat away the gnats (or drunk boys) who are trying to get their hands on you. You are NOT having it.


Suddenly, you figure if you don’t get to the bathroom in the next two seconds, you are going to pee your pants, so you beg a loyal friend to come. You sprint to the filthy, unsanitary bathroom, which obviously doesn’t have toilet paper. You bond with other drunk girls who are being attacked by their small bladders.


After another hour of jumping and screaming the words to "Shout" and "Everytime We Touch," you discover you are surrounded by obliterated couples who are sloppily making out. It's most definitely time to go.


So you leave the party, tired, starving, a little lonely and sweaty. As you reflect on the night eating pizza and other junk you’ll regret in the morning, you know you’ll be back doing the same thing next Saturday night. That's the beauty of college, my friends.

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.
