Anywhere you go, you will find differing social classes. There are definitely evidence of different social classes here at Creighton University. It becomes apparent through a multitude of ways. One of which is the clothes that people wear.

There are some students who wear brands that are known for being extremely expensive and then there are those who wear clothes that are from a thrift shops or even stores that are known for having cheaper alternatives. Those who wear brand names usually are of a higher social class. Another way that social classes are shown are through how much you spend off campus.

You know those friends who are always at Target or eating out and then there are those who stick to there meal plans almost religiously. Usually those who eat out or spend money more often than most are in a higher social class. This is a little trickier to figure out because some students come from affluent families who may not have access to that wealth and by this circumstance are in a different predicament.

That is something I have wondered about. Would you classify someone into the social class of their family or their own as an individual? In my mind I look at everyone as an individual; therefore, I would classify those who come from a wealthy background and still are frugal with their money into a different social class as their family.

In conclusion, there is a variety of social class on this campus; however, sometimes it is difficult to tell just by observing one’s actions and appearance.

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.
