10 Things You Could Buy Instead Of Pay Your Tuition

Thinking about making a huge impulse buy instead of going to college this year? Here are a few ideas on how to spend that tuition money.

1. A trip to three countries

Just hitting under my tuition and fees bill for this semester is a trip that keeps taunting me in all of those Facebook banner ads. Wine tasting, pasta classes, and no regular classes. Sounds a lot better than midterms this semester.

2. A $2,500 manicure

Several YouTubers have made this extravagant purchase viral . How about some real gold on your fingers instead of Fall semester?

3. A boat

If you're ready to sail away from all of your responsibilities you may have to pay a year's worth of tuition, but who cares about that when you have a boat? Right?

4. Adopt a bunch of dogs and cats

If your tuition bill was around $5,000 for one semester and the average adoption fees with shots included are around $300 dollars then you could adopt 16 animals. Now that's some math I can get behind.

5. A remote-controlled life-sized R2-D2

Be the envy of all your friends, you will.

6. A painting from someone out of your art history textbook

Maybe Blanche Lazzell was in your textbook, but instead of learning about her you went out and got a painting of hers. It's what your art teacher would've wanted anyway.

7. Have someone develop an app for you

Why go to school when developing the next Candy Crush could have you set for life?

8. One really expensive watch

Does time fly when it's the only thing you can afford? Find out with a diamond designer watch!

9. Attend a summer's worth of concerts

Go ahead and get those VIP passes! You can afford to attend Coachella, Bonnaroo, The Hangout Fest, and any other summer music festival.

10. Throw an amazing rager

Leave your education with a bang, and go down as a legend with all your friends. So many successful people dropped out of college anyway. Live it up.

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.
