12 Reasons Why College Is Worth The Struggle

So you're at that point in the semester where you begin asking yourself, "Is it too late to drop out of college?" While quitting now may seem like a probable option for your sanity, my advice to you is to keep on keepin' on. Yes, college is tough. And tiring. And challenging. But it is important to remember one thing: college is worth it.

So before you decide to throw in the towel, here are some things to keep in mind.


1. College instills great work ethic.


So you don't have to be "that guy" at work.


2. Living alone forces you to be independent (you're welcome mom).


"I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T: Do you know what that means?"

3. Your English professors will make sure you understand grammar.


Because honestly, it's about time we all know the difference between "there," "their," and "they're."


4. College will also make you really clever on social media.


Your SnapChat friends will thank you.


5. It will also make you clever in regards to everything else.


Now we all know.


6. Going through college will cause you to hold yourself to a higher standard.


Which is never a bad thing.


7. You'll also realize that not everything everyone says makes sense.


Really though, will this trend ever end?


8. College will inadvertently teach you to be yourself.


PREACH.


9. It will also prevent you from Googling dumb things.

Although, that is a good question...


10. College will give you a good excuse for drinking at family events.


You're welcome.


11. It will also allow you "adult" on your own one day.


In the meantime you should probably thank your mom for paying your electric bill...


12. Most importantly, college is the best time of your life.


Even if you can't remember all of it.


Ultimately, college is worth it in the long run. Here's to getting through the rest of your educational career!

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.
