Go friars!

As a student at Providence College for the past three (going on four) semesters, I've definitely become accustomed to how this campus works and I've learned all the ins and outs of it. Just like any other campus community, we have our own quirks and characteristics that are unique to us. If you're a friar like myself, you should definitely be able to relate to most, if not all, of these. Here a few confessions of a typical Providence College student.

1. You live for chicken nuggets and curly fries on Thursdays.

2. You feel like a mini celebrity whenever someone waves or says hi to you on campus.

3. You don't actually use the crosswalks to get from Harkins to Al-Mag.

4. If you don't have one already, you've always wanted an intramural championship t-shirt.

5. There are few things you hate more than the class registration and housing selection processes.

6. You love holding the door for others but never know what the appropriate distance is to do so.

7. You still wonder what happened to taco Tuesday at Ray and who complained that it was too repetitive.

8. You're actually afraid of the campus squirrels.

9. You love Coach Cooley.

10. You're probably involved in more sports, clubs, exec boards, or activities than you actually have time for.

11. The view of Harkins never ever ever ever gets old.

12. Whenever you're still hungry after a meal at Ray, you go back up to get just a plate of fries and then wonder if people are judging you as you walk back.

13. ...And the ice cream machine is both your best friend and your worst enemy.

14. Even though you don't think you're superstitious, you still avoid the circle in front of the chapel like it's the plague.

15. You really just attend 10:30pm mass because there are snacks afterwards and it's a social gathering that you can justify spending time at on a Sunday night.

16. Your printing money is gone in a blink of an eye.

17. Although Friar Dom creeps you out, you really love him at the same time.

18. You complain about how expensive Ben and Jerry's is at Alumni but then you buy it anyway.

19. You've mastered the art of budgeting friar bucks and ray swipes.

20. You actually really love playing bingo.

21. You still have a textbook on backorder at the bookstore that you ordered a month ago.

22. You've gone to Dunkin' multiple times in one day.

23. If you're not a business major, you're rethinking your major after seeing how nice the Ryan Center is.

24. You actually look forward to Ray brunch because it's the only meal you can rely on.

25. You've taken way too many pictures of the campus because it's just too beautiful not to.

26. You probably own a sweatshirt or t-shirt from every campus club or activity you belong to.

27. You wish Ruane wasn't so pretty because you love it but it also reminds you of Civ.

28. ...But at least Civ has made you better at Jeopardy than anyone else you know.

29. If you're not a science major, you have no idea how to navigate Al-Mag.

30. Although school can be stressful sometimes, you love being a part of the friar family more than anything else in the world.

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.
