To My College Best Friends
William Peace University

Picture this, I move into my dorm freshman year with all kinds of butterflies in my stomach. My family leaves and I'm worried. Worried nobody will like me, worried my classes will be "too difficult" but most of all that I would have no friends. I was already relatively quiet, add a whole new environment to that and it can feel like the end of the world. Little did I know I was in for the ride of a lifetime with some of the best people.

I am lucky to have picked a school where it is relatively easy to meet people. It's a small private college where everybody knows everybody. They have welcome week activities where you are guaranteed to make at least one friend if not more and the clubs are stellar and their is something for everybody.

All this helps college freshman and transfers meet new people, little did I know I would be meeting some of the most important people in my college career.

It basically went like this, girl joins one club and gains a family. Family might be far stretched but you get the picture. It wasn't long before I thought of these people as brothers a sisters whom I could tell everything to.

Having this feeling was a drastic change from what I thought my college life would be like.

My college best friends are some of the most considerate and caring people I could've ever met. They don't care about anything but if I'm happy and that their other friends are happy.

They tell me how it is even when they know I don't want to hear it. They deal with my antics and my weirdness. They love me for me and that's honestly all I could ask for.

We have endless memories just from freshman year alone from seeing wicked to messing up while singing solos, you know who you are. (side note guess who just realized solos is a palindrome).

Sophomore year then starts, I'm in a new dorm with new people who had I not been in a living situation with I may have never talked to.

I have no doubt that this year would be just as good as, if not better, than last year. I honestly don't think I could've asked for a better sophomore year. I met some pretty great people whom I call brothers and sisters.

I may have had some pretty serious bumps but I dealt with them head first because I knew if I fell I had friends that would pick me up no matter what.

So here's to junior year, the memories that are yet to be made and the peace brothers and sisters I'm yet to meet.

To my current peace brothers and sister, thanks for making my college experience worth it and loving me endlessly.

With love,

Your "Always" Peace Sister Cat

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

For the past few months, I have not been my usual happy-go-lucky-self for a number of reasons, but one thing that has been helping me is to think about all of the little things in my life that I am thankful for. I know this might seem really cliché, but it is so true. I cannot stress enough how much better I feel when I think about all the great people and privileges I have in my life. It makes all of the insignificant things that I am stressing about or worrying about in my head seem not nearly as bad. I have decided to make a list of 26 things (out of many more) in my life that I am especially thankful for.
