The CheatSheet

It's no secret that college can be expensive. Usually, students are left with debt for many years following their graduation, and their degree winds up useless. If you find yourself working at McDonalds after spending four years on an accounting degree, follow** these seven easy steps to erase your debt in no time!

1. Sell Anything You Don't Need.

Sure, this won't make you tons of money, but there are plenty of apps where you can sell old clothes, electronics, books, etc. to make a bit of spare cash.

2. Do Small, Odd Jobs.

Again, it won't make you tons of money, but doing little odd jobs for the elderly is both noble and provides you with a bit of tax-free money.

3. Cut Off Contact With Loved Ones.

This might be the hardest step, but it's a crucial one. In order to truly become debt free you'll have to run away from home, and to make yourself truly untraceable you can't have any contact with your loved ones. So kiss your mom goodbye and hope she'll understand that this is what's truly best.

4. Create An Alternate Identity.

If you're going to truly disappear, you'll have to leave behind every trace of the person you once were. You'll have to create a new sense of style, name, job, etc. Think of this as a fun activity!

5. Pick A Place To Move To.

Don't spend too much time on this part, since it won't matter a ton in the long run. You may find you want to keep on the move, or cross borders. Usually, keeping on the move is the safest option.

6. Buy Plane Tickets.

Sure, plane tickets are expensive, but you'll only need a one-way trip. Besides, sometimes you need to spend money to save money. A plane ticket might be a few hundred dollars, but it'll enable you to leave behind thousands worth of debt.

7. Run Away To Start Your New, Debt-Free Life.

Sure, you'll never see your family again and you need to start a new life with a completely new identity, but hey, at least your loans are waived.


**Disclaimer: Don't actually follow any steps after number two but like, it's your prerogative, I guess.

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.
