Here are some annoyances particular to Stony Brook University.

1. The horror of enrollment days

Enrollment days are anxiety provoking and stressful, and we are crossing our fingers for a line of green checks. If this happens, we feel like a kid in a candy store- no rushed trips to admins and department buildings!

2. When the dining hall takes your ID for takeout and then you forget it there

I don't get why they do this, but every time this happens I die a little more inside.

3. When you miss your morning fruit

Depending on the day the dining hall will not serve their melons after breakfast time, also there's usually no berries served. Sometimes they make up for it with a chocolate fountain.

4. The wind tunnel that is the Zebra Steps

My friend told me that they brought an architect from Arizona to construct Stony Brook and this campus was literally constructed to to funnel wind. This is New York, people!

5. The restrictions in our dorm rooms

The 'no string lights' thing really crushed my Pinterest dorm dreams.

6. The strange insects

We have these roaches especially around West side of campus. One of them made their way into my room all the way on the East side and I was less than thrilled. When I lived in Wagner College, I saw some strange creatures which I was unable to name.

7. The lack of water fountains in Benedict College

It's super annoying when I'm about to sleep but I have to make a huge trek for drinkable water. The worst part is I need to use my ID card to get to the fountains. Why are there only two? They are currently half-broken as well and have been for weeks.

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.
