College Birthdays Are Weird... Here Are 5 Reasons Why

In This Article:

When my mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I said to drop out of school. The first semester of the first year of college is a tough one for anyone who doesn't like change/adjusting to new situations. In all honesty, all I want for my birthday is to go home. Either that or a redo on my first calculus exam.

1. You forget about it

In college, time moves quickly (but also slowly) and you forget what day it is. Your birthday is one of those days.

2. Nobody knows it's your birthday

At home, everyone knows it's your birthday and reminds you of it. In college, nobody knows, so you forget yourself sometimes.

3. You don't get to see your family

Your family was some of those people that would remind you about your birthday, and get you excited for it. In college, most people don't even get to see their parents on their birthday.

4. You don't even really want any presents because you're too busy to think about it

Except money. Money is always good.

5. You go out every weekend, so going out on your birthday is expected anyways

Mine is on Saturday, so it will be no different than any other college weekend out.

Happy birthday to all the college Libras!

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.
