Being a transfer student, I was worried about finding the right friend group for me. However, this also applies to incoming freshman. I mean how do you find friends after moving to a completely new town? Well, it's actually a lot easier than you would think.

1. Standing in a line

Because there are so many people on a college campus, you will more than likely stand in a line at least once a day. This is probably the easiest way to find a friend.

2. Clubs/organizations

Joining new clubs and meeting new people is always a good option. There are so many different clubs and organizations for almost anything you can possibly think of.

3. Sporting events

Games and student sections are so packed that you can bump into someone next to you and make a new friend.

4. That student you sit next to in class

There's no better bond than the one you share with your procrastination partner in class.

5. Campus food courts

Everyone's gotta eat! Plus, this brings us back to those lines.

6. Intramurals

Almost every major sport has an intramural league. Join one and meet people with the same interests as you.

7. Greek

Sororities and fraternities aren't the only ones included in Greek. There are Greek honor societies, band groups, religious affiliations, etc. There are so many other Greek clubs for all interests.

8. Events on campus

So I know my university has all sorts of events, fundraisers, and giveaways going on all over campus all the time. My university hosts blood drives, Homecoming, philanthropy week, free giveaways, etc. It's a good way to make friends and get free stuff!

9. Dorm/apartment complex get-togethers

Depending on where you live, a lot of places will hold little get togethers (again with the free stuff!) to meet the people who live around you. They'll usually give away t-shirts and food so it's worth the stop by.

10. Roommates

Sometimes a roommate can be the friend you never knew you needed.

11. Classes in your major

Once you've gotten past at least year one, you'll start taking classes more central to your major. At this point, you'll start seeing the same people all the time. Might as well befriend that girl/boy you sit by in every class.

Honestly, you could meet a friend anywhere. Don't let college intimidate you. Even a shy person like me can make 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.
