This man is actually one of my favorite people, and I was so happy when I found out he attended the same college as me, and even more excited that he had the same major as me, journalism. Murphy after IU, went on to do fabulous things such as create the show we all know and love, "American Horror Story."

Suzanne Collins

You wouldn't have Katniss or Peeta if it wasn't for this imaginative woman. Collins wrote that compelling trilogy, and many other books that you should check out such as "FIRE PROOF," and "Year of the Jungle."

Kevin Kline

Kline started out at IU studying composing and conducting music but changed to a theater and speech major. He graduated in 1970 and then explored the U.S. performing in a variety of plays. You might recognize his voice as Mr. Calvin Fischoeder on "Bob's Burgers." Also, another side note, his daughter Greta Kline, is Frankie Cosmos which is one of my favorite musicians.

The dude who lost a bunch of weight by eating just Subway was a Hoosier as well. He eventually got into some trouble for... weird stuff but none of that is affiliated with IU.

Calbert Cheaney

Cheaney was once an IU basketball player before under the infamous Bob Knight, and then he went on to bigger and better things such as the Washington Wizards, the Boston Celtics, and the Golden State Warriors. Cheaney is also from a town that is close to mine, Evansville, IN.

Jimmy Wales

The creator of freakin' Wikipedia went to IU. The man who created a website that has helped us all find out relevant information went to Indiana University.

Antwaan Randle El

Antwaan Randle El played football at Indiana University, and upon graduating he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Catt Sadler

Sadler is another one of my personal favorites because she was on E! News which is news focused on entertainment, which is what I hope to do for the future. She graduated from Martinsville High School, and then went on to IU where she also joined the Chi Omega sorority.

Mark Cuban

The best for last. Cuban graduated from IU and more specifically the Kelley School of Business with a bachelor of science degree in management. After IU, Cuban has gone on to do extraordinary accomplishments such as own the Dallas Mavericks, co-own 2929 Entertainment, chairman of AXS TV, and one of the beloved shark investors on Shark Tank.

As you can see Indiana University is a school where talented people are created and then do big things afterward. Hoosiers are filled with greatness and will continue to produce greatness (Puck Furdue).

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
