Freshman Year Problems: A Dime A Dozen
How I Met Your Mother

Everyone will try to prepare you for college in their own ways. Nothing can compare to the words of those who have experienced it first hand. Get ready future freshman, here's some things I hope you avoid.

1. Ending Up With Shitty Professors

Look up every professor before you sign up for their class. Your professor can either be your best or worst decision. It can decide pass or fail, in any class.

2. Falling Off Your Lofted Bed

Lofted beds are nice when you can fit extra stuff under them, but maybe opt for a lower option if you just got back from going out.

3. Locking Yourself Out Of Your Room

This means having to go down to the main office, in whatever state you're in, to ask to be let in. Always check for your keys before you leave.

4. Walking To Class In The Rain

Check the weather before leaving, or prepare to sit through lecture soaking wet. That's all I have to say about that.


5. Getting Hit By A Biker

Make sure to pay attention at all times when walking on campus because some bikers/skaters/hoverboaders have no mercy.

6. Having To Buy Another Student ID

No one wants to pay $20 for a new ID, but honestly you can't live without it so find a way to keep up with yours.

7. Not Making It To The Football Game

I'm not sure if this is a bad thing or a good thing. Have fun at tailgates, but make sure you don't get in trouble.

8. Missing The Party Bus

This means having to either go home, or have someone drive you downtown. Get ready early, that way you don't get there too late to hop on.


9. Losing Your Shoes

Try wearing shoes with straps, especially when you go out. If you leave them at a frat house, chances are you're not getting them back. This sounds dumb, but it's more common than you think. RIP gold jacks.

10. Procrastinating

Nothing sucks more than having to stay in because you waited til 11 to do your assignment due at midnight.

11. Going To The Bathroom At Frat Houses

Three words. No Toilet Paper. BYOTP.


12. Boys

Enough said, freshman boys aren't worth it.

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.
