Small School Problems and Perks

There is never anything wrong with attending a small school.

Small School Problems and Perks
Sholeh Rezaee

If you chose to attend a small college, you might be familiar with everything on this list.

1. The dreaded walk "all the way across campus" takes less than 15 minutes.

Fifteen minutes too long AMIRITE?

2. You will probably wave at literally every person you pass because you know them all.

Or just awkward nod, but still.

3. If you skip class your professors will wonder where you are.

They still won't care, but they will at least notice.

4. And the next class excuse:

"I was under the weather" won't count because you'll probably pass them on your way to get a greasy sandwich for your hangover.

5. You make tons of friends freshman year because the entire "class of ___" lives in the same building.

Love thy neighbor, right?

6. Your entire university will always show up at the same places for parties.

The phrase "OMG I wasn't expecting to see you here" isn't true. You know you were.

7. The dining hall ladies are the SWEETEST and are open to requests.

"Thanks for all breakfast for dinner and chocolate chip pancakes, Ang!"

8. Campus police are your best friends and didn't bust those gatherings you threw in the dorms last semester.

9. If you're an athlete, everybody and their mom knows your business.

10. Having raging school pride is kind of awkward because your school doesn't have a football team.

"GOOOOOO uhhhhh *insert sport here*!"

11. But all in all, you love your school!

Never look down on a small college/university. It could be the best decision you have ever made. Always have an open mind, regardless of the circumstances.

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.
