Being off at school can sometimes be rough, whether you're close or far from home. If you're like me, you tend to call your mom at least once a day, every single day. Then after you hang up the phone, you text them right away. You text your mom or dad every day about anything. From food, your pets, random updates, jokes, etc. Our parents probably get annoyed with the text overload, but they love us too much to admit it. A lot of us can't wait to be on our own, but once you've left the nest you don't realize how much you actually need your parents. Here are 15 things you have, or will, text your parents while at school.

1. "What are you doing?"

Just checking in, don't mind me.

2. "Can I see/talk to the dogs?"

Giphy

Sorry mom and dad, but sometimes I call just to check in on them.

3. "What are the dogs doing?"

Checking in on the dogs several times a day is normal.... right?

4. "I'm stressed."

I have too much homework, my professor is a total jerk, I don't have time to deal with it.

5. "Can you pretty, pretty please send me some money?"

Every. College. Student. Ever.

6. "I'm dropping out."

Y'all, school is HARD.

7. "The food here SUCKS!!"

They don't get it until you send a picture of what it looks like.

8. "I'm hungry."

Giphy

Probably because the food sucks.

9. "How do I get this stain out?"

Also, is it really necessary to do separate loads?

10. "What do I use to clean this?"

Is it okay to use Windex on this?

11. "You'll never guess what happened today."

Spilling the tea with your parents is just so much better.

12. "I'm sick.... AGAIN."

Even when you're not sick but you think you are.

13. "I want to come home."

Whether you're homesick or just over school, this is a text you will send, without a doubt.

14. "Is this normal? Like is it supposed to look like that?"

You will also attach a picture of whatever it is on your arm, neck, leg, etc.

15. "Why are groceries so expensive??"

You think it won't be that much looking at your basket then you get to check out.

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.
