From The Girl Who Skipped The Parties

Sorry, I'm not that girl.

From The Girl Who Skipped The Parties
Spoiled NYC

Most people say college is the best years of their lives. Mostly because of the parties and weekends spent getting intoxicated. Like, really? That's the best years of your life? Getting blackout drunk and not remembering anything from the night before? Sounds like a blast. Next time, I'll grab a bottle of Absolut and join you. (Insert sarcasm here). Personally, I think it's a little overrated and I know I'm not missing out on much.

I'd rather focus on the real reason for college, you know, to get a degree. That is why you're there, after all. You may think they are the best years, but they certainly are the most important. I have girls that come into my classes so hungover from the night before and I can't help but wonder how they're even passing their classes.

Just because I'm not your average college girl, doesn't mean I'm boring or not fun. Our priorities are just at different ends of the spectrum. If drinking way too much vodka and a one night stand is actually your idea of a good time, then you do you. I hope one day you take off that slutty dress and grow some dignity. Some popcorn and hours of "Gossip Girl" is a great night well spent to me. No hangover, no time frame missing. Why do you want to look back on those years and not remember most of it?

So if you want to get together and binge watch "Greys Anatomy," I'm your girl. But if you want to go out and get stupid drunk while dancing on every guy in the club, then I'm not so much. I don't mind being the girl whose in bed by nine on a Saturday night. At least my parent's can count on knowing where I'm at, at two in the morning. So next time you're at the next frat party hanging your head over the toilet, I'll be at home in bed watching Netflix. Enjoy your hangover.

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.
