Let me just start by saying that as college students, we all know that there are many pieces of clothing that are common on campus. You can't walk a step without spying at least one of these articles of clothing. Whether it be the frat guy accounting major who you spy sitting on the bench or the education major with the skinny jeans and cardigan, it's pretty hard to miss.

1. Sorority shirts

This is the typical sorority girl. She is obsessed with her sisters and is the girl who will use any excuse to talk about her big/little. She doesn't go one day without wearing any letters/sorority gear. She doesn't own anything else in her wardrobe that's not sorority-related. She gives rude glares to anyone else who represents a different pair of sorority letters. Most likely, her name is Jessica.

2. Skinny jeans with a cardigan

You will never see an education major without some sort of jeans and a cardigan on. As future teachers, they must always dress nice, so they might as well start preparing now. They always have a cup of coffee held carefully in their hand so they won't spill any on their brand new jeans or tote bag. You can most likely find them in the library until 2 AM with six extra cups of coffee while they scramble to write a lesson plan.

3. Vineyard Vines pocket shirt

This is Chad. He is an accounting major who also belongs to a fraternity. His daily outfits consist of Vineyard Vines pocket tees and white cargo shorts. You can find him walking to class wearing earbuds, as well as him holding a cup of coffee. On the weekends, you can find him out at the houses shotgunning his beer.

4. XL t-Shirt and Nike/Lululemon shorts

These people are most likely sorority girls who basically live on T-shirts and shorts. You can find them sitting outside with their sunglasses on at the local coffee shop in the afternoon, an iced coffee, and bagel to their side.

5. Birks

Whether they're real or not, Birks are basically worn by the majority of girls on campus. No matter the weather, these are the shoes of choice. Cold? Wear them with socks. Hot? Wear them alone. Snow? Wear them with snow boots. Cold feet at night? Wear them to bed.

6. Athletic tank top with leggings

These are the girls who basically believe that their workouts are more important than academics. You will never see them in nice clothing. They sit in the row in front of you munching on carrots in class, and they drink fruit-infused water out of their Blender Bottle. They never wear their hair down and they constantly smell like sweat.

7. Tie shirts

These are the girls who start chugging as soon as it hits 4:00 PM on a Thursday. They can't be caught dead watching Netflix and eating pizza at home on a Friday night. After all, they do have a reputation to keep.

They tell themselves that they need to stop spending money, but they find themselves at the bars every weekend blowing away that dough. They are always the first ones to get drunk. Also, a majority of their Instagram pictures are either at house parties or the bars.

8. College sweaters that represent another college

These are the individuals who CLEARLY want to transfer, but no one knows why they're still here. Their dorm/apartment/house is decked out in gear that is different from where they currently go to school. We get it, you think that your fave school is superior to this one.

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.
