Dagers: Day ragers. Here's everything you need to know about surviving one at UD.

Alcohol: An abundance everywhere you turn during these days.

Beer: Thrown on you, poured on you; you can almost guarantee you come home drenched.

Choate Street: Flooded with hundreds of dagers hoping from party to party.

Darty: Please do not call it this, it is incorrect.

El Diablo: The place to be after a long day of daging; the line is usually a 30 minute wait but so, so worth it.

Frats: They rule the Saturday dage scene; you can be sure that your favorite frat will be having some party this day.

Game day: This is our version of a typical college game day.

Hangover: After you take that nap right when you get home after a long day, you wake up with the worst of this, and have a hard time rallying, but we usually do.

Ice Luge: When you hear a frat is having an ice luge at their dage, you put it at the top of your list. (Most girls just want to take pictures of them doing it)

Jean Skirts: If 50% of the girls aren't wearing jean skirts, then you are probably at the wrong school.

Keg: Don't even bother waiting in line, you will be there forever.

Lose: You lose everything; your shoe, your friends, your pride.

Main Street: The most crowded it will ever be during the week, as all the houses where these dages are take place here.

Natty: The only choice you have. If you don't like it BYOB.

One Dollar Slices: Probably the best deal on pizza that exists, and it exists right at the corner of Main Street at Papa Johns.

Pregame: The pump up activity with your friends to guarantee a great day of daging.

Quiet: In the quaint little town of Newark, DE, quiet is something it is not during dage season. Sorry families!

Roofs: So packed that sometimes the roof starts to cave in.

St. Pattys Day: Where you wake up at 9 am to start daging and go until 7 pm.

Tired: After, you feel as if you have been awake for 48 hours, but it was just the dage draining everything out of you.

UDage: Our nick name because we are the king of dages.

Vomiting: Don't be that person, please.

Weather: When its scorching hot out, you don't really have a choice but to wear as little as possible.

(E)Xcitment: Because it's the best freaking day of the week, duh!

Yelling: I KNOW THE COPS ARE HERE STOP SCREAMING AT ME TO LEAVE.

Zzzzz: Time to catch some z's in anticipation for next Saturday!

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.
