College Life As Told By Reality TV Stars

Welcome to college life, kiddos! Prepare yourself for a never ending sea of essays and assignments, fatty dining hall food, going broke, never getting enough sleep, and the best memories you will make. Now that summer is over and the dreaded month of September is finally upon us, we have to resume our life at our home away from home. We love college, but let's be honest, sometimes it kicks us right in the ass. College life can sometimes get the best of us, even though it's "the best four years of our lives."

During my college career, I've noticed I'm starting to relate to reality TV stars WAY more than I'd ever thought I would. Don't be alarmed; I don't mean I'm drinking a bottle of wine every night in my monogrammed Prada bathrobe and getting into cat fights at dinner parties. Instead, I've noticed that the things I find myself and my friends saying every day, sounds a lot like reality TV stars. If these stars had gone to college alongside us, I imagine their reactions to college life would fit right in.

Sleep is your best friend.


Any class before 10 a.m. is a total killer.


You meet so many people, it's hard to keep track.



There's one day of class every week known as your "death day."


Sometimes, you go a little crazy on the weekends.


You're forced to take core classes that you don't want.


You wish you could just ignore all your problems.



Some days, social interaction is just too hard.


You learn (or at least try) not to sweat the small stuff.


Saturday's are your safe haven.


This comes out of your mouth at least once a day ...


There comes a point in the semester where it seems like there is no hope for your grades ...



But somehow you always manage to pull through.


Yes, college life can be hard, but at least rich, middle-aged housewives know exactly how we feel.

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.
