The 10 Friends You Have in College

1. Roommates

You live with them, so naturally you are close and do a lot of basic life things together. Your family away from your real family.

2. Going Out Friends

This is your squad, the group that people see you in and the group you take the cheesy Thursday night balcony and white-wall pictures with. You have the best stories to go with this group of crazy fun ladies.

3. Bestie from Home

You FaceTime her every chance you get and sometimes you’re even closer with her now that you are apart because you’re making that extra effort to talk. This is the friend at home most likely to visit you in college.

4. Distant Friend from Home

This one you grew up with and can basically go the whole school year without talking, but your closeness and friendship never changes.

5. Mama

Yep, your mom becomes your very best friend when you go to college. You talk everyday, share way more with her, miss her lots and talk to her way more than when you even live with her. Every time she comes to visit is a treat and the most exciting part of your month.

6. Favorite Frat Friend

This is the girl you can call up no matter what point you are at in your night and she will drop everything she is doing to go to that fraternity you are both in love with (or let’s face it, she is probably already there).

7. Sorority Event Bestie

The girl you can call who is always going to dinner or that sisterhood event your roommates will not go to with you. She will also be your biggest supporter when it comes time for you to run for a position in the winter.

8. Major Buddies

Same classes, same goals, same career path. You study with them and you always have them to gush to over your incredible summer internship.

9. Work Friends

The people you vent to about rude customers and unreasonable bosses and coworkers. No one understands you quite like them or goes through the same hard work and struggles you do with a job whether it be from home this summer or an internship you spend your free time during the school year doing.

10. The Stand-in Mom/Family

This is the girl from your hometown, but she also came to college with you. She is your tiny piece of home, your rock. She keeps you grounded, while also letting you grow into your true self instead of the person you pretended to be in high school and growing up.

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.
