12 Things To Expect For Your First Week Of College
Christina ReAnn Beckum

The first week of college can be a crazy time. Here's are 12 looks at exactly what you can expect as demonstrated by man's best pal.

1. It is your first day of class and this is the moment you have been waiting for, but you were not paying attention to that tour guide during orientation and you have absolutely no idea where your first class is. So, you just look around trying to play it cool so no one knows you are a stranded freshman.

2. You get to your first class and decided that maybe if you sit next to the older students nobody will realize how out of place you are, but it is pretty obvious.

3. You have joined a fraternity/sorority with the hope of meeting new people because how else are you going to meet people on this giant campus, which thankfully at least gives you something to talk about during class.

4. When you first see the dining hall it's the most beautiful thing you have laid eyes on, even though you will quickly hate it in a few short months.

5. You get back to your dorm only to realize that your roommates are already pre-gaming for a night out and you refuse to miss your first opportunity to go out in your college town.

6. You get ready to go out and make sure that you have on your best outfit because who knows, you might meet your new best friend or your future soul-mate tonight, anything is possible in college.

7. When you get to the bar, you quickly realize your soul mate is looking right at you (Not really but this is what we all wanted to happen).

8. You quickly learn the next day that class does not get put on hold because you are hungover but you say screw it and skip it anyways.

9. Instead you go to the pool with your friends while forgetting about all of your responsibilities and mainly focusing on how tan you can get during the last few weeks of summer.

10. When you get home you quickly realize you forgot about a huge test you have tomorrow, so you spend the next few hours wallowing in your self-pity.

11. You quickly convince yourself that you have never been more prepared for a test in your life and are about to make an A on this test (you don't).


12. You spend the next hour trying to figure out why you did so terribly on the test and tell yourself that next time it will be different, that you are going to quit skipping class and going out because of how important your grades are. Then that night comes when you realize that you are going to do this every week and it is going to be the best time of your life.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
