After, a few months into college every student learns new things about themselves. You've probably noticed some of the guilty habits you've developed by now. You have probably learned new life hacks, made more excuses, and ate much unhealthier than usual. Now, more than ever we, as college students have made a complete 360 on who we are as students from the past. College is stressful, college is for new experiences, and college is for learning how to be on your own. College may or may not have changed you, but let's be honest we can all admit to the following twenty-seven things...

1. Making an excuse to not go to class

brave

Whether it be, its too cold outside, or my bed it too comfy.

2. Adding ramen to your daily diet

Ramen all day, everyday.

3. Skipping class to study for another class

skipped class

This is a re-occurring problem during midterms.

4. Wearing the same outfit two days in a row with the excuse of, "The same people won't see me".

simpsons

I cannot argue with this point!

5. Buying a Starbucks drink everyday

Is it really worth it?

The answer is, yes.

6. Socializing at the library instead of studying

If all of your best buddies and classmates are in the same room, it is inevitable to not socialize!

7. Falling asleep in class and then pretending like you know what is going on in lecture

sleeping

Participation points are key and so is making it till you fake it.

8. Being late to class, because you were using the elevator instead of the stairs

elevator

We walk enough and then they expect us to walk up two flights of stairs.

Coming. To. Class. Out. Of. Breath.

9. Emailing professors at 11:30 pm right before an assignment is due

emails

It happens...

10. Blaming technology for tuning an assignment in on late

We all have made this excuse once or another time in our college career.

11. Online shopping in class for literally anything from Korean face masks to tiny sunnies.

College students are broke, so our shopping cart stays full and our wallet stays empty.

12. Skipping class due to the effects from the night before

sleep

Self-explanatory college student guilty moment.

13.Finding numerous ways to finesse laundry coin machines

We all know the coin hack by now.

14. Saying "awwww" every time you see a pet on campus

Okay, but they are so cute.

Please do not pet unless you are given permission by the owner!

15. Pretending to look busy when the professor is trying to randomly select a student to call on

math

Please please, please not me!

16. Making at least one reliable friend in each class to help you with assignments, but never emebring their name

Contact Name: Guy from English 101 that always wears a hat

17. Going out to eat and getting food delivered when you have numerous meal swipes left

Dining halls are a no-go and it's so much more convenient when it comes to you.

18. Doing the bare minimum and then rewarding yourself...For no reason 

pat on back

You deserve that nap and a "Stranger Things" Marathon.

19. Ignoring the gym because you felt you walked enough on campus to suffice you a lifetime

walking

This was enough exercise, right?

20. Going to events just to wear that perfect outfit

outfit

Students wear casual clothes 24/5 days a week. So, we are allowed to dress nice every once a while and switch-up our look.

21. Spending way to much time on social media 

phone

It's so easy to get distracted by social media when doing literally anything,

22. Parking in a spot that you know may risk you a parking ticket

"I hope I don't get a ticket".

23. Not looking at the weather before class

rain

Every, Single. Time.

Be prepared by writing a note to remind you on your desk!

24. Not calling your family and friends from back home enough to remind them how much they mean to you

miss you

We think it all the time, but saying it makes your loved ones feel special. College gets busy, but remember who is rooting for you away from school.

CALL THEM.

25. Reorganizing your dorm room to avoid homework and respobsibilites

cleaning

I don't know whats worse; a dirty room or not doing homework.

26. When your professor allows for a cheat sheet on the exam and you write in the tiniest font possible

Downfall: Later not being able to read what you wrote.

27. Not taking enough care of their mental, physical, and emotional health 

So, so, so important to take care of yourself!

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.
