Strange Things Seen At Gustavus, Part 1
Leah Mikonowicz

College is a strange place. Especially when you go to a small school because you know more people, therefore you are more aware of people's personalities. Also, more things go on with a lot of people there. Today, a strange thing happened here on the hill. Gustavus is a unique place where schools roam and many people wear socks with Birks. I have decided to start a new series with some help with my friend Emma... Strange Things Seen at Gustavus.

The first volume of this series is starting today with the Girl Scout. Unless you go to Gustavus, you may not understand. Recently, there has been a table outside of the cafeteria where some girls have been selling Girl Scout cookies. One girl in particular started wearing a thin mint costume. She was very cute and she knew it. She asked everyone walking by if they wanted to buy some cookies. The people that said yes went to the table, paid, got their cookies, and went on their ways. The people that said no however, they better watch out.

This little girl was DETERMINED to sell cookies. People that said no were definitely going to be asked a few more times. The girl had a reason they should still buy cookies no matter what excuse they had. Here are some examples,

"Sorry, I don't have any cash."

"Oh that's okay we accept MasterCard and Visa!"

"Oh well I don't have my card with me either."

"That's okay! We accept Venmo too!"

After this, people would still say no and continue walking into the caf. This little girl still didn't want to give up so she would start following. One poor guy was chased both when he was walking in the caf and when he was walking out. The only way to protect yourself from this girl was to buy cookies. So, I did what I had to do, I bought some Girl Scout Cookies.

Thank you to my good friend Emma Williamson for this article idea... you rock.

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.
