8 Perks of Being a Sophomore

From what I've heard, sophomore year rocks. You're no longer a clueless freshman but you're not yet a jaded junior. We'll see if my second year lives up to its legendary reputation.

1. You know where everything is.

Getting lost around campus when your class schedule changes or off-campus for tailgates is a thing of the past. You know the ins and outs of your school's layout and even have your own favorite secret spots that freshmen better not find.

2. You have a routine.

Gym, tan, laundry? Whether your routine works or involves no work at all, you've got it down pat.

3. You get to live in your sorority/fraternity house.

Even if you're not living in your house or didn't go Greek, the living situation for sophomore year is most likely sweet and definitely better than the dirty freshman year dorm room your crappy priority number got you.

4. You have a crew.

Whether it's your roommates, suite mates, hall mates, frat guys or srat friends, you now you have a go-to group for pregames, outfit help, brunch and everything else in between.

5. You know how to study.

Er, kinda study. Since college classes and high school classes are totally different, it may have taken you a few classes, exams and maybe even some bad grades to figure out that wine and working on a paper don't mix well (for the most part).

6. You know what not to do.

Speaks for itself. Freshman year faux pas are things of the past.

7. You get to have a little.

As a big, you not only get to add to your fam, but you get to be a mentor and older figure to probably the only cool freshman you'll know.

8. It's one of the best years of the "best years" of your life.

It's the peak of the peak. The cherry on top of an already amazing ice cream sundae. So enjoy every second.

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.
