The ABC's of College

A isn't for apples anymore...

The ABC's of College
Datacenter

We were taught our ABCs at such a young age but as time goes on, they resemble different things. I have listed below the ABCs of College.


A

A is for Amazon Prime. A service from Amazon that gives students 50% off of Prime for the first six months. I did not regret buying Amazon Prime because nothing is better than only waiting two days for a package.


B

B is for breakdowns, something you will have many times within your college years. B can also be for being broke, something we also all experience in college.


C

C is for cramming. You can cram in many ways. You can cram in studying for a test or a quiz. You can also cram in a nap.


D

D is for dorms. You will either love or hate you dorm. Either way, you are stuck with it until the year is over so make the most of it.


E

E is for experience. You experience a lot of things during college. You can be exposed to new things when you go away and meet people from all over.


F

F is for Freshman 15. You can run but you can't hide from it.


G

G is for http://www.grubhub.com. Grubhub has everything you need, whether it is for lunch or late night cravings.


H

H is for homework, something you either never get or never do.


I

I is for insomnia. You will have those "all nighters" in college.


J

J is for jobs, something you will constantly search for while you are in college. You can search for temporary jobs and or maybe jobs you are interested in spending the rest of your life working at.


K

K is for knowing who, what, how, where and when. Whether it is knowing what restaurants give student discounts, where there are dollar burger nights, or who to go to when you are in need, you will know exactly what to do.


L

L is for L, something you will take often in college. You will have good days, but you will also take L's.


M

M is for money, something you will have little of.


N

N is for naps. It does not matter how little time you have to do your assignment, you will still squeeze in a nap. Nothing goes better with a nap than Netflix.


O

O is for opportunities. You will not be handed opportunities, work hard in college and you might get lucky.


P

P is Pong. You will either win or lose, just try to be the best you can. P can also can for procrastinating. Either way, you will play pong and procrastinate at least one a week.


Q

Q is for quizzes. Your professor will either announce them or never announce them. Either way, try to be prepared for them.


R

R is for reading. Reading is something you might never do but your essay on that one book may prove different. We also can't forget about http://ratemyprofessor.com . Before choosing a class, you know that you better go on that website or else it will be the worst class of your life. You will be able to see if your Professor is a pushover or requires a lot of work.


S

S is for syllabus week. Syllabus week is the week that you find out how much of a pushover your professor is or is not.


T

T is for talking to people in your class to find out if they finished that paper or made a review. "Joe from English" comes in handy sometimes.


U

U is for utilizing your resources. Whether it be for projects or the weekend, you will find a way to get what you need.


V

V is for venting, something you will do to a close friend from home.


W

W is for working out, something you claim you will do 'tomorrow' but never do.


X

X is for eXcuses. You will find any excuse to miss a class but still claim you were 'sick' meanwhile all you wanted to do was nap or finish that one season you had left on Netflix.


Y

Y is for you are wasting your time and money. People spend too much time clubbing rather than getting an education, something their parents paid tuition to go to college for.


Z

Z is for zodiac signs, they do not mean a single thing. You will not meet the love of your life because she is a Libra and it was your 'time' for love.

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.
