College is hard and girls should be supporting girls.

Being A Mean Girl In College Isn't Cool So Why Are You Still Acting Like A High School Bully

We all knew someone like Kate Sanders from the show Lizzy McGuire in high school, but I don't know why you're out here in college still acting like you rule the school.

There's nothing worse than putting people down, but to think you can be an actual adult still bullying people like we're on the playground is ridiculous.

I've never experienced this college version of Kate Sanders first hand, but just hearing stories of how mean girls are to each other in college is crazy.

We're out here combating frat boys as freshmen, trying to make it out of a sophomore year slump, working on getting the internship of our dreams during our last summer of college, praying for the day we turn 21 and struggling through our senior year before we go into the real world.

But, some girls have time to make fun of other girl's appearances, put people down and slut-shame people who are supposed to be their besties? That's a mess, and I want no part of it.

A little gossip is OK, but when you're in full on mean a** bully mode that's where it needs to stop because we're in college. We're all messing up, saying the wrong things, learning the same lessons over and over again and staying out too late. The stress is never-ending, and we wake up every Monday and do it all over again.

We need all the support we can get.

No one cares about the designer bracelets on your wrist or how much you have in your bank account so stop acting like you're better than everyone.

Whoever heard of belittling others as an adult? I never thought I'd see a bully in the flesh in my college years, but life will surprise you like that.

There are always going to be cliques in any group, but a college bully brings it to a whole new level.

Being a mean girl in college isn't cool because we're all struggling with classes, the looming date of graduation and trying to balance a personal life, so I'm confused how you have the time to be mean to people?

I need to be kinder to people.

We all need to be nicer to people because college is rough and girls should be supporting girls not tearing them down.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
