College Told Through Elf On The Shelf

Whoever said we were too old for elf on the shelf? Heck, I'll never be too old for good old Saint Nick, let alone my good old friend Elfie! With all my final projects and exams at the end of the December, it can be hard to remember your name, let alone remembering that Christmas is right around the corner. So, in order to keep up the Christmas spirit, I decided to continue on my "mom" title in my suite and displayed an elf on the shelf for my roommate. You know, just to help Santa out. But through the process of setting one up each night, I realized many of them ended up a bit more relatable than I felt comfortable to admit. I guess my subconscious was telling me something...or my grades were telling me I should be studying instead. Whoops.

1. You're a poor college student, living off ramen and golf fish.

2. This is what a lot of our Friday and Saturday nights look like in Winter, because well...Nutella...I mean its too cold to go out.

3. You've attempted all-nighters, but never fully quite make it through and regret it always the next day.

4. You are always trying to avoid the freshman 15...wait are those marshmallows???

5. Sometimes you just get homesick and end up cuddling up into a blanket- wanting your mommy.

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.
