Fears All College Students Are Forced To Face

Everyone attending college has the exact same fears in some form or another. Although they are nothing compared to the ones we will be facing when we leave this place, they are fears nonetheless.

Your unassigned-assigned seat being taken

When you have a quick panic attack every time you are walking into a class because you are saying a quick prayer that your usual seat doesn't have some other individual getting their germs all over it. You know once it has been sat in for just one day, it is gone forever and can no longer be yours.

Gift Card overdraft alert

You know that gift card for some place you would never actually go to that has been kicking around for like six moths? Yeah, well now it has come time to use it and you have no idea if it will actually work, but you don't have any other form of payment. We have all been there and we know that heart -racing second between handing the card over and the printing of the receipt.

Paper due tomorrow morning

Have you ever had that feeling that you are forgetting something? Do you ever check the syllabus just to make sure and find out you have a 10-page paper due in tomorrow's class? This happens to the best of us and it definitely makes us all very fearful. You know the worst 12 hours of your life may be ahead of you.

Oh, online version, where are you?

Have you ever gone to the bookstore only to find out that the textbook you need will cost you almost as much as your first-born child? So you just decide, "Eh, ill find it somewhere online." Shortly after this thought process, the first assign,went comes up and a PDF is nowhere to be found.

What time is it?

Ever go to sleep and wake up feeling way too rested, or the sun is just a little too bright for it to be 9am. Yep, your phone died over the night and now not only did you miss your alarm(s) but you also have no idea what time it is.

Running out of clothes

When you legitimately have nothing to wear because you have run out of clean clothing options. This is procrastination to the max. You have to wear dirty clothes to class and you're not nearly as ashamed as you should be.

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.
