Headaches. You give me headaches!

What College Students Are Tired Of Hearing
Noiseless Chatter

I'm not entirely sure why I have heard these questions so many times or why people think it's necessary to ask them. Yet, here we are reading an article about it because over the years I've come to find out I'm not the only one overly annoyed with these questions. Sometimes, you hear the questions and you can brush them off while others make you want to repeatedly bang your head on your very expensive and unused college books.

1. Are you eating healthy?

Yes totally. Because being surrounded by cafeterias, food courts, Starbucks, pizza places that are open till 2 a.m. and staying up late studying is totally good for my healthy eating habits.

2. You don't skip any classes do you?

Absolutely not. All of my classes are SUPER important and teach me all the life skills that I need to survive. I really love hearing the Spanish professor babble for an hour and a half about her nine-year-old cat that looks "super adorable" when it sleeps.

3. Why don't you have a significant other yet?

Because I thoroughly enjoy being the third wheel and never having a date to any of the formals or parties. DUH.

4. You're never going to find a job if that's what you're majoring in.

I seriously appreciate your vote of confidence.

5. Are you excited about going back next semester?

Summer break JUST started yesterday... what do you think my answer is, lady?

6. College is easy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA okay bye.

7. Student loans can't be THAT bad.

Does that mean you're going to pay for them all for me?

8. Shouldn't you slow down on the coffee consumption?

Don't tell me how to live my life.

9. Why didn't you make Dean's List?

Because I'm above all those stupid "labels."

10. How do you think you did on your finals?

If we could all act like they didn't happen that would be great.

11. Shouldn't you be studying more often?

12. Do you get enough sleep?

Are the bags under my bags really not that obvious?

13. Did you gain the freshman 15?

I have zero self control.

14. Do you always dress like a bum?

Only on days that end in y.


15. You're going to be an adult soon are you ready for it?

It's a no from me.

16. You took longer than four years to graduate?

I'm sorry that we can't all be as perfect as your four-time middle school honor roll student.

17. How are you going to pay off your student loans?

Honestly, I'm not really sure. Say an extra prayer for me please.

18. How often do you go out and paaaarty?

Never. I'm snuggled up in my bed at 8 p.m. on the dot.

19. You don't call home enough.

Sorry I've been drowning in my sorrows school work.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
