20 Things You Hear In College
Collegefession.

College is simultaneously awesome and awful. Half the time you love what you do and can't wait to work in your field. The other half of the time you're entertaining thoughts about dropping out of college and becoming a hobo. Here's some things you've probably either said, or heard, when talking to college students.

1. Is it too late to withdraw from this class?

I know everyone has wondered this at least once during their college years.


2. I think I'm just gonna drop out of college.

If you haven't entertained this thought, you're lying.


3. Is it acceptable to wear the same shirt I wore yesterday?


Yes. Because you're Monday/Wednesday/Friday people don't know about your Tuesday/Thursday life.


4. Five more minutes!

Five more minutes of sleep won't completely disrupt my schedule, right?


5. Why do I have to wear pants?


Ah, yes. The eternal question.


6. I'm not going to my 9:25 and you can't make me.

You can skip class every once in a while. Just don't make it a habit.


7. I don't wanna go to class

No one does, bro.


8. Will there be snacks at this event?

This will determine how many people show up and how long they will say. Once the food is gone, I'm gone.


9. My prof is always late anyways.


You're not late as long as you get there before the Prof does.


10. We only have to wait 10 minutes before we can leave, right?

This rule is always confusing. Just remember, 10 minutes for Professors and 15 for Doctors. Now you just have to remember whether it's "Professor Smith" or "Doctor Smith."


11. Did we have homework?

If we did, I obviously didn't do it.


12. Can we just watch a movie today?

This one is probably more common among the film major classes. But it still applies to everyone.


13. I have time for coffee.

There is always time for coffee. Always.


14. I'll just wing it.

Presentations are really hard to memorize, after all.


15. It's bedtime.

Don't be deceived. Once that clock hits 11pm, I am out like a light.


16. One more episode.

Of course, my 11pm rule doesn't apply during a binge watch session. This show is just too good!


17. We have a test???

This is probably one of the most terrifying moments of your life. Hopefully the answer is, "not until next week."


18. What day is it?

This determines a lot. Like what class you're going to, or if you have a meeting.


19. I like your Chacos.

This is especially common at Asbury University. But hey, maybe other campuses have a chaco obsession. They are comfy.


20. Why did I take an 8am?

I don't know, but you should probably reevaluate your life decisions.

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.
