Welcome to College, Katniss

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Welcome to College, Katniss

While the Hunger Games may actually be about an unhinged society in the future, every college student knows it's all a metaphor for the four (or more) years we spend fighting to come out alive.


1. Being welcomed to campus by the overly excited faculty member during orientation. "Don't drink the punch, kids!"

2. Trying to build the perfect schedule for next semester. Before you know it, all of your classes are full and there's an arrow in your back.

3. This represents most of the guys in your classes 100% of the time.

4. Making those awkward friends from different districts during freshman camp.

5. When you receive a package from home, its like a gift from God. (Especially if it's during finals.)

6. Pulling your first all nighter.

7. Having that one friend in all of your classes.

8. When you're forced to go to your professor's office hours.

9. How you look during the week vs. how you look on the weekends.

10. www.ratemyprofessors.com

11. Having to give a presentation in front of your whole class.

12. "Have you started studying for tomorrow's test, yet?"

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.
