Trust me, you'll want to hear this.

I interviewed a friend that goes to a college in the city and she has many stories to tell. I asked for her opinion on dating and what I learned is to just go with the flow.

So, for the guys, here is what a girl thinks about dating in college.

"Did you have a boyfriend in college?"

*Pause* Yes I had a boyfriend my sophomore year and we were together for longer than I thought we would be.

"How many boyfriends did you have in college?"

One, and trust me one's enough, hahaha JK.

"Are you still together?"

No.

"What would you have changed about your relationship?"

I would've changed the time it took us to figure out what was best for us. I think we might have known what we wanted to do before we both made it official.

"Do you guys still talk?"

We still talk but definitely not the same as before. As time passes though I know we will eventually stop.

"Do you regret the relationship?"

No, because it was fun while it lasted. I loved getting to know that person and learning new things.

"How was dating in college for you?"

Well, he went to school far away in Georgia so, I didn't see him much, to say the least. As time grew I had many great times. But those great times led to doubt, doubt as to why we were together with so much distance between us. In the end, we ended it so we could live it up where we were.

"Would you date someone else maybe closer to your school whilst in college?"

Well, maybe if I found the right person I would not say no. But, as of right now I love focusing on myself and my life and it seems like it'll be a bit till I dive into something that deep again. As of now, I'm looking to just have fun and be around fun people.

"How do you like to meet guys?"

I like meeting people through people I know or the genuine people I meet. I don't usually go out of my way but who knows. Since I am out of the relationship I may have to at least say "hi."

"What's your plan for this upcoming semester?"

My plan is school, work, and everything in between. I am excited about possibly studying abroad in France and meeting so many new friends.

"Do you think you'll meet someone abroad?"

I hope! That would be so cool!

"How would you want someone to approach you at a bar?

Honestly? In an honest voice, someone who sounds conceded or like he has other intentions outside the bar can honestly take a walk.

"Are you on Tinder?"

No, in all honesty, I'm not a fan because I can't see this person in real life. I want to meet them not message or swipe.

"Do you have any tips for people who ended their relationship in college?"

1. It's not the end of the world — trust me.

2. Give yourself time.

3. Hang out with friends because they are great at making you laugh.

4. Everything happens for a reason.

I honestly learned a lot from speaking with this old friend and she is completely right. Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it's easier to take care of yourself rather than others. I am thinking of writing this from the opposite point of view, and that should be even more interesting.

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.
