To Dry Shampoo, A Love Letter
Holly Barnett

When you're in college you really start to get a sense of who you are. You go through struggles and hardships that really shape who you are as a person. You meet friends that will be with you forever and memories that will last a lifetime (wow is that cheddar or mozzarella because it's getting cheesy). And for some people, they meet the love of their life. And ladies and gentleman we can all say that it's dry shampoo.

First and foremost, if you don't own dry shampoo, go to Target right now and get some. It is the best thing that has ever happened to this world. Forget sliced bread, we are talking clean hair, people!!!

Dear Dry Shampoo,

Without you, I would not be presentable. Not only do I look homeless on a day-to-day basis but without you, I would look homeless with oily hair. People would look at me funny but since others opinions don't matter, I would walk around campus with oily hair.

Showers are hard sometimes. You get home, you are tired and hungry, you want to watch Netflix and go to bed but wait — you can't, because your hair is oily. And that is where you, my friend, save the day.

Thank you for letting me go to sleep early some days. Whenever I have an occasion to attend, you are there for me when I oversleep my alarm and miss shower time.

You are there when I need to add volume to my hair. You are there at my lowest times, and you help pull me up. I honestly don't know what you are made of, but I know it's God's powder that he blessed this Earth with so we could be decently presentable.

You never fail me. You are always there. I love you, dry shampoo. An Oscar, Grammy, and Tony to you, my friend.

See you soon (tomorrow morning),

A struggling college student

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.
