Never Have I Ever ... Until College.

Growing up there were things I had never done ... but then I came to college.

Never Have I Ever ... Until College.

Never have I ever until college ... started drinking at 7:00am.

 

It's definitely a unique and challenging process waking up for a Saturday football game. Not only do I have to manage to get my body out of bed at 6:45am, dress completely in a monotone of red, put on makeup hoping you couldn't see the “hungover” in my eyes, I had to somehow put enough alcohol in my body before game time so that my drunk could last me the next five hours. It's an exhausting process but one that I look forward to more than anything.

 

Never have I ever until college ... done my own laundry.

 

Yes, my privileged Californian life gave me the joy of not having to wash my own clothes but once I became a college kid I had to learn how to pour the perfect amount of detergent, how high of heat to dry my clothes, and manage the art of folding clothes.

 

Never have I ever until college ... been up until 3:30am doing homework.

 

I made a terrible enemy once I came to college named Procrastination. In high school, I could procrastinate on writing an essay, turn it in the night before, and get a solid B. But now that I'm in college procrastination bites me in the a** leaving me stressed out, reliant on coffee, and up way too late for having school the next day.

 

 

Never have I ever until college ... had Mono.

 

They say 60% of all college students experience the horror of Mono and sadly I am a statistic. My first semester of Freshman year consisted of me going to class, rushing a sorority, and sleeping between each of my classes in an attempt to fight off this miserable virus. (If you do experience Mono, RIP to you. It sucks.)

 

Never have I ever until college ... gone to class drunk.

 

It's not because I pregamed class (but I do plan to do this at some point before I graduate) but there have been a few Friday morning classes where I woke up still drunk from my Coke and rums the night before forcing me to get out of bed with makeup running down my face and my head spinning while my professor is trying to teach me about the printing press.

 

Never have I ever until college ... lived with my best friends.

 

 

The dorms, as gross, cramped, and loud as they can be, are truly amazing. You are in a building with hundreds of other college kids your age who want to have a great time and make the most of freshman year. You'll meet some of the weirdest people here and your best friends. Being able to call a floor-mate a close friend of yours is something only college can give you and it rocks.

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.
