Here is a list of ten things that are bound to happen during your first month of college.

1. You meet a ton of new people.

The first month tests your ability to remember so many names.

2. You get attacked with reading assignments.

Oh, it's only one textbook chapter, can't be that bad... then you realize that's around 30 pages per night...per class.

3. You get your first good grade.

The confidence booster that makes you think you can have a 4.0 GPA in college.

4. You get your first bad grade.

Then you realize that 4.0 GPA is extremely far fetched.

5. You eat insomnia cookies, Chinese food, pizza and the list goes on.

Freshman 15, here you come.

6. You stay up way too late.

Yay freedom! Then you stay up till 1 a.m. and instantly regret the decision the next morning when you have to get up for an 8 a.m. class.

7. You join a club.

Getting involved is the best way to make new friends, find out what you really enjoy doing and join a club for it!

8. You feel homesick.

It happens to the best of us, but don't worry, Kleenex and a phone call make everything better.

9. You go out and get a taste of freedom.

Nothing like the first time you get to make your own choices without getting a text from mom asking when you are going to be home.

10. You make amazing memories.

New experiences mean new memories that you can look back on and laugh at like a crazy person at the most random times.

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.
