Thank you.

19 People All College Students Need To Thank

There are hundreds of people in your life that deserve a thank you. With Thanksgiving coming up, people typically thank their family, friends, and their pets. Try to focus those that may be underappreciated. These are the people besides your friends and family that have most likely made your life easier.

1. Your freshman year RA

The person who dealt with your problems. They made sure you were safe when you made poor decisions.

Thanks, Nick and every RA in Tower D!


2. The cleaning staff

When you trash the common room, someone cleans it up. The cleaning staff is filled with incredible people that you should talk to more. Say hi and see how their day is going.


3. That kid who gave you a pen in class

Let's be real, at this point in the semester, you are running out of supplies.

4. The security guards at the desk

They have to deal with all of the shenanigans that happen at night in your building. They get bored though, so talk to them. They are really nice people.


5. Dining hall workers

Many people have their favorite workers on campus. Whoever it is, make sure that they know they are appreciated.

Thanks, Ms. Verna!

5. Reed Hastings: CEO of Netflix

You know why.


6. Your advisor

We need to appreciate the advisors who went above and beyond to make sure that you succeed.

Thanks, Jon Lesh!

7. Your parents

If it wasn't for them, there is a chance you wouldn't be in school. You can never thank them enough.

Love you Mom, Dad and Anzie.

8. That professor who didn't take attendance

You are a godsend.

Thanks, Professor Webster.


9. The librarians

They do not get enough credit for being incredible resources to students.

Thanks, Lisa Woznicki.

10. Your roommate

The person that deals with you every single day. They see you at your best and your worst. You allow each other to be super weird.

Thanks, Sarah!


11. That kid with the printer

We have all had our printer break at terrible times. Thank that kid on your floor who let you borrow theirs when you were in a time crunch.

Tori is the real MVP.

12. Campus Activities Board/ Student Government

They have to attempt to satisfy the entire student body. They will never please everyone, so appreciate how hard they work.


13. Your orientation leader

They had to deal with all of the questions you had as a freshman with a smile. They helped show you the ropes of your college.

14. Whoever gave you a grant

This could be a woman who is currently drinking a mimosa at her beach house that created a scholarship to help the youth. $500, $5,000... that's less money that you have to pay.



15. That really hard professor

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Thank that professor that made you work your ass off for that grade. Chances are, you learned from it.

16. The people who struggled in that class with you

You all probably bonded with the all nighters you've pulled together for this course. You all encouraged each other that you will survive.

Thanks, Kevin, Steff and Whitney.


17. That really easy professor

They helped you boost your GPA.

18. That person that DIDN'T believe in you

It pushed you to prove them wrong.


19. Most importantly: That person who DID believe in you

There are so many times that every college student freaks out being an adult. Thank the people that knew from the beginning that you could do it. These are the people outside of your main core of family and friends.

Thanks, Tom Askey, Stephen Edgar and Patrick O'Donnell.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
