Getting Through College, As Told By 'Prison Break'

There's always another stop.

Getting Through College, As Told By 'Prison Break'

With news of the new "Prison Break" series soon to air on Fox either at the end of 2016 or at the beginning of 2017, and me being a huge fan of the show, I thought through the episodes of past seasons and how they sometimes relate exactly to what goes on in the everyday life of a college student.

1. When you realize college isn't just parties, and you begin to miss home.

We all end up having that one moment where we realize that we're far away from home, and we can't go talk to our parents right away if we need advice, so you begin to think about transferring, but then realize we're in the 21st century, and you can call home.

2. When you're in your freshman dorm, and your RA knocks at your door.

*Knock, knock, knock* Res Life! As a freshman, those were always the worst words to hear when you had friends over after a long week, only now most people realize that when you shut off your loud music, and everyone gets quiet, it's basically a dead giveaway.

3. When you forget to study for a test, and a friend asks for your notes.

We all know that one person who goes a little too far in order to pass a test.

4. When you get a 100 on a test you didn't study for.

We all end up having those random moments where we surprise ourselves with a grade, but you know you can't get used to it, because this isn't high school, and the chances of it happening again can be slim.

5. When you look at your grades during midterms.

When midterm and final grades are about to be released, you're sitting there just waiting for the deadline, hoping you aren't failing.

6. Talking about your grades.

When your parents ask you about you grades at midterms, and you try to get out the conversation.

7. When you talk to your parents about what happened that year.

Most of the time you're lying to your parents about going out and partying, but you forget your parents were college students as well.

8. Zoning out.

There's always that one kid in class who zones out multiple times, and you can't help but try to figure out what they're thinking about.

9. When you finish your last final as a senior.


For those of you who graduated this year, you can almost find this hard to believe that you're done with college, and on to the next stage of life.

10. Your professors' last words.

\

You can always expect to hear this from at least one teacher throughout your college career, but you know it's an unspoken truth behind every paper that you spend hours tearing your hair out to make sure its perfect.

11. Graduating.

So you've made it through college, excited to start your new career, but soon enough you realize that college is over, and you're out in a new, real world, and you're back at the bottom.

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.
