Freshman You Vs. Sophomore You

Essentially you're the same person, but you have a very different outlook on life.

Freshman You Vs. Sophomore You

Appearance

Freshman You: You get dressed up for class and can't go out without hair and makeup done like you are performing at the Grammys.

Sophomore You: Dressed up is wearing leggings instead of sweat pants, a sweater instead of a crew neck, and concealer to hide your lack of sleep.

Food

Freshman You: You have blocks, therefore food is essentially free. Eat up.

Sophomore You: Starving because you are paying for your own food and malnourished because you don't have the time or desire to cook.

Academics

Freshman You: Easy classes, less effort, easy As.

Sophomore You: Major classes, lots of effort, I hope I get As.

Health

Freshman You: You miss the glory days of high school varsity sports and the RPAC simply won't satisfy you.

Sophomore You: Too much sitting around and you gained that freshman 15. You wanna get in the best shape of your life.

Friends

Freshman You: You had the most friends in high school, so of course you need tons of friends in college, too. If you know their first name, friends!

Sophomore You: Fewer friends, better friendships. The ones who are still around are the ones invited to your wedding. You have weeded out those who were holding you back. Quality over quantity. 

Roommates 

Freshman You: You didn't choose who you live with and you got the short end of the stick. You can't stand one more minute with your psycho random roommate and her annoying live-in boyfriend. Not to mention she leaves all of her stuff on YOUR side.

Sophomore You: Having your own space to retreat to allows you the time to be alone and decide when you want to clean and when you don't. You love your roommates, and you all get along. Huge improvement from last year. 

Dating

Freshman You: You don't want to be tied down. You just want to be "Young and wild and free," To talk to whomever you want whenever you want. The right person could change your mind, but you'll wait for now. 

Sophomore You: All of your friends, roommates, and siblings have that special someone. You wait for your person to come around, but since that isn't happening any time soon, you force your best friend to cuddle with you. 

Ego

Freshman You: You feel like an adult now. You know everything, and you will not be convinced otherwise. You own this school and you run this town. 

Sophomore You: You're lost and confused. You've changed your major three times and a fourth time is very likely. Already stressing about the MCAT, the LSAT and whether you want to go to grad school or not. So much stress and you're not even half way done.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
