Nobody wants to shower surrounded by someone else's hair.

Coming to college is a new experience for many people. When you have to coexist with many other girls on the same floor, there are some common courtesies that need to be remembered.

1. Don't leave you hair in the shower.

As a girl with long hair, I understand that a lot falls out in the shower. Just throw it away in the garbage after. PLEASE don't stick it to the shower walls.

2. Keep your sex relatively quiet.

If you are having excellent sex, good for you! But nobody else really cares how good your boyfriend is. Keep your yelling to a minimum.

3. Wash your toothpaste down the sink.

Nobody wants to wash their hands in a sink with dried toothpaste caked around the drain.

4. If you want to be extremely loud with friends, get out of the hallway.

I am all for a good time, but if you are yelling down the hallway I'll get salty.

5. Don't write ignorant things on other people's white boards.

Most girls put white boards up on their door to get messages from their friends. If you make a joke to a friend, that's different than writing something rude on someone's board you don't like.

6. Don't leave your clothes in the washer or dryer for a long time after their done.

I have clothes that I would like to wash and if you are incapable of taking your clothing out when they are done, I will not feel bad setting them on the top of the wash machine.

7. Flush all your toilet paper down the toilet.

Yes, even if that means flushing twice.

8. On the other hand, throw all of your *lady products* in the garbage.

I've got enough of my own problems without having to deal with your mess.

9. Leave your door open when possible.

This will help other people get to know you by simply stopping by to see a friendly face!

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.
