You should consider sticking it out, if only for the free food.

5 Reasons College Actually Doesn't Suck So Bad
Taylor Plate

College life can suck. Cafeteria food, tiny dorm rooms, and professors that you can hardly understand can all lead to some resentment for this time in our lives. We've all been there, sitting in the library at midnight, coffee in hand, eyes drooping, and the assignment that's due tomorrow is only about 45% done. Despite all of those late night catastrophes, college is actually an okay place to be. Here are five reasons that college is a good place to be:

1. NO PARENTS

Our parents are great, but not THAT great. Weekends and holidays are enough.

2. You can live with your best friends.

You've gone from seeing your best friends at school to nightly sleepovers.

3. You can go where you want when you want.

10-hour road trip to the beach? No problem... Until you have to be at your 8 a.m. on Monday.

4. Free stuff on campus CONSTANTLY.

Free food, free t-shirts, free everything. Except for, you know, we still have to pay tuition.

5. Student discounts off campus.

Even when you do have to go and pay for things off campus, they're usually discounted for students.

So yeah, dorms suck, and so does cafeteria food, but college is worth it in the end. Stick around, make some friends, and maybe get your diploma too.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
