Ladies, If You're Looking For Your MRS Degree In College, Stop, You're Worth More Than That

Seriously, like what do you think the point of college is?

Listen y'all. I go to Baylor University (a private school). Baylor is renowned for its medical school, yeah that's cool whatever (it's actually not cool at all because kids are so cut throat here sometimes its crazy BUT that's the topic for another article). Of course, this leads to some girls who are here specifically to find a future doctor to marry.

PSA: this is NOT the way to have your life aligned! Especially at Baylor, where tuition is 60k.

Yeah.

If you're going to a crazy expensive college just to find a man, oh honey, PLEASE get your priorities in check.

First off, college is about bettering yourself, whether academically or socially. Do it! Study! Make New Friends! If you spend your whole time at college fixating on guys, you're not going to get anything out of it AND you'll be out the price of a medium-sized house here in Texas.

Second, if you spend all of your time looking for a guy, you're going to attract the wrong guy. Be patient and focus on other things. A relationship will come in its own time.

Third, why do you want to attach all your present and future value on someone else? What happens if you do find that dream guy in college, but after you two are married, he's not a dream anymore? Will you have any means of living on your own? You are worth WAY more than that to begin with, and you'll be worth WAY more than that if you take these years here to invest in yourself by getting a worthwhile degree with the goal of figuring out life after college, not with any boy.

I promise this is the better route. It may be a little harder (we're all currently drowning in homework), but it is the better option! Get comfortable with yourself and who you are, don't focus so much on being so "lonely" when in reality you're just single, and go out there and kick some booty!

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.
