Everything needs a starter pack.

All of the college majors have their own stereotypes, so every major obviously needs its own starter pack. Keep reading for some suggestions depending on your unique major!

Art History

Obviously, an art history major needs to have a Kanken backpack that’s preferably a mustard shade, but any other color will do. They will also be wearing a vintage-looking pair of glasses that are probably the “tortoise” style and crew-length socks that have something to do with art. They will likely have bangs that look weirdly too short. They will also be carrying a cup of coffee in a recyclable cup, a sketchbook that is just a few inches too big to fit in their Kanken, and some art book visible in their arm, such as a Matisse, Klimt, or Picasso book.

Philosophy

A philosophy major will be wearing a pair of stylish, yet large-for-their-face glasses, a vintage striped sweater that looks really comfortable and better than it should, and a pair of brown oxfords combined with a matching leather messenger bag. To top it off, we can’t forget the beanie.

English

The English major will above all be carrying a cup of some specialty coffee to keep them up late into the night so that they can finish that huge, classic of a book that they seem to carry around everywhere that no one else could even fathom wanting to read, such as "War and Peace" or "Pride and Prejudice." They will also have a portable book light on them at all times, and their library card will always be close by. Often, they will be seen across campus jotting down random words or sayings into their notebooks.

Film

The film major will above all have some super fancy and expensive camera hanging around their neck at all times. They will also have fancy movie posters all over their walls and will be wearing an overly chunky vintage cardigan even when it’s about 90 degrees outside.

Anthropology

The anthropology major will always have all-natural and organic snacks in their backpack and will have a sticker from every place they’ve ever traveled somewhere visible so everyone else will know that they’ve traveled to all of these places. They will also be able to pull off some lazy look with their hair that actually looks really put together and others will question how it’s possible.

Engineering

A black coffee on hand at all times, in combination with a bunch of loose sheets of math, a super modern and fancy techno laptop, an unnatural lack of sleep that has somehow become natural, dark circles under their eyes, and a few dried tears on their cheeks because they have so much homework to do.

Architecture

Just that giant portfolio bag kind of thing over their shoulder. No need for any other items in this starter pack.

Inspiration was drawn from the things I see on campus with a little help from this post on Pinterest from Buzzfeed.

NOTE: This is satire and is not meant to be offensive. I even roast myself.

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.
