The #1 Unwritten Rule Of College

Don't be that person.

The #1 Unwritten Rule Of College

We all have things that bother us, especially at school. Whether it's the sniffling student sitting next to you, or the extremely rude professor that's being paid with your tuition money, we have all had our fair share of being annoyed at school.

However, there's one thing that drives every college student insane, and you can't even deny it.

Changing seats after the first week of class.

That's right, I said it.

I mean, I guess we could give it until maybe the second week of classes. But that's it. And I mean it.

You can't just move your seat around, especially after you hit the third week of classes. You're just asking for trouble. Someone already sat in that seat for 2-4 classes and you feel the need to throw everything off by sitting in that person's seat.

Watch how this unfolds.

You walk in and some awful person has sat in your seat before you even arrived. What do you do? Do you sit on the floor? Nah. The professor might think I'm weird. Do you leave the class? Nope I'm paying for this. Oh yeah, YOU TAKE SOMEONE ELSE'S SEAT AND THEN THAT PERSON HAS TO CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE'S SEAT TO SIT IN AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

It's really a vicious cycle.

So, rather than throwing off someone's day, continue to sit in the same seat that you've gotten after the first week of classes. Don't be that person.

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.
