5. You Have Mastered the Art of Textbook Buying

Who needs the school's bookstore when you have social media and eBay? Just one post in your classes Facebook group and next thing you know you are getting a $50 textbook for a fraction of the cost from a classmate's third cousin twice removed who's roommate took the course last year.

4. You Try to Go to as Many Downtown Events as Possible

What is this freshman year? Suddenly you are eager to take every flyer on the Pentacrest since you know this will be your last year of doing so. And you didn't realize how much you missed the free food and swag until now.

3. Despite Our Size, You Actually Know People in Your Class

This especially comes up in your major's courses. And as someone in a lot of courses with group projects this is a blessing in disguise. Now when I walk into a classroom and see my friends, we all immediately look at the syllabus to see if there's any projects for us to collaborate on together again. And some might turn out to be resume boosters!

2. You're a Professional Napper

Although this entirely depends on your schedule, you know how amazing a 30 minute power nap can feel, especially after a long lecture. As someone who as a toddler refused to nap, I am trying to make up for the missed counting sheep moments now.

1. You Don't Find Your Class Until Minutes Before

At this point in your college career you know that if you're taking a class in a certain field, chances are it will be in a certain building. And as a student in cinema and mass communications this is especially true since Adler and Becker are connected. So even if you're wrong, you just need to walk across the bridge!

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.
