College As Told By 'Grease'

A classic teenage movie to describe a not so classic time in life.

College As Told By 'Grease'

I have always loved the movie "Grease." Whether it be the music, dancing, or how cute Danny is in that bad boy kind of way. I secretly always wanted to be like Sandy. Since the movie has been the talk of campus this past week due to the release of "Grease Live," I decided to share my love for this movie by describing college with quotes from "Grease."

The never ending snacking

Danny: "Uh, I'm not very hungry; just gimme a double Polar Burger wit' everything and a cherry soda wit' chocolate ice cream."


There are without a doubt those times where you aren't very hungry, yet eat like it's your last meal. Once you start, you can't stop. Junk food is a college student's biggest weakness.

Netflix and Chill

Sandy: "My parents want to invite you over for tea on Sunday."

Danny: "I don't like tea."

Sandy: "You don't have to drink tea."

Danny: "I don't like parents."


We all know these kinds of nights. I've had quite a few. Of course it's fun to go out with your friends, but sometimes curling up in bed with a Netflix movie and a bucket of popcorn sounds much better. You try to use every excuse without sounding like a total flake.

I'll actually try for class today

Frenchy: "Doody, how do I look?"

Doody: "Like a beautiful, blonde pineapple."


For those times we try our hardest to actually look nice for class. You get up thirty minutes earlier just to look like a pineapple, but at least you're a beautiful one!

The financial struggle

Jan: "Don't let me near the refreshment stand! Take my money away from me! I'm not hungry! I'M NOT HUNGRY!"


Again, junk food is a college student's weakness. Our money either goes towards clothes or food, but I'd bet mainly food.

Expectation vs. Reality

Frenchy: "Beauty school sure wasn't as I thought it would be."

Vi: "Nothing ever is."



If your college experience so far has been anything like mine, it's not what you thought it would be at all. It is so much more than I could have imagined and I am thankful that sometimes things are different than you thought they'd be or the way you wanted.

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.
