10 Things You Shouldn't Have Done This Weekend

But you ended up doing anyway...

Every weekend is a learning experience. At least that’s how I see it. Without fail, we all do things we probably should not have, but we learn from our mistakes every time. Or do we? Here are 10 things that college students are typically guilty of on your average weekend.

1. Started your pregame at 7 p.m.

It may have seemed like a brilliant idea at the time, but blasting vintage Kanye and sipping your train wreck of a drink when it was still light outside was probably the first problem on Friday night. You always tell yourself you won’t do it again, but every night you and your friends go out, the same thing seems to happen.

2. Ended the night at 2 a.m.

So it didn't occur to you to leave that party when there were only two people left: you and the fifth year senior who lives upstairs.OK . That’s mildly understandable. And by “that’s,” I mean, “That was OK during your first week of freshman year.” But now it’s totally not. This has happened too many times to be acceptable at this point, and your friends will probably be confronting you about it tomorrow morning. Just so you know.

3. Eaten the room-temperature pizza in the common room.

But it was Domino’s. Pepperoni. And it tasted like the god’s ambrosia, as far as you were concerned. Four slices later and you probably felt like a million bucks. And let me guess, you totally slept in your romper and makeup too. You know I’m right.

4. Devoured the entire All-Star Breakfast at Waffle House.

As if the Domino’s incident was not enough to convince you that mandatory gym hours starting immediately were a necessity, you definitely headed over to the neighborhood WaHo the very next morning, drowned your sorrows in your sugared-up coffee, and managed to eat every last bit of the huge All-Star Breakfast. Great work. Things certainly are looking up for you, aren’t they?

5. Watched 14 episodes of “Cutthroat Kitchen.”

You could have at least watched something of substance. “Chopped” maybe, but “Cutthroat Kitchen”? Mediocrity. You seem to relish in it, but then again, don’t we all?

6. Not making it out of bed until 1 p.m.

Thank goodness you purchased those blackout curtains that can keep your room pitch black at all hours of the day if you want them to. You needed the recuperation time after your escapades yesterday evening, and you undoubtedly emerged from your dark lair only when you got that text that a load of people were going to Sheetz.

7. Drank the clear liquid you thought was water (it wasn’t!) on your bedside table.

This happened. I like to think of it as character building. This happened. And you are stronger for it. This happened. And you hope to whatever higher powers there may be that it never happens again.

8. Continued to request the song that wasn’t on the band’s set list. Ever.

OK, duh, “Dreams” and “Layla” were not in the frat band’s set list last night. They never will be. It’s nothing personal. Next time, you’ll do better to check yourself before you stumble over to the bassist and put in that request for the 13th time.

9. Worn last night’s makeup well into the following day.

That Covergirl LashBlast looked so much better the next morning. A great discovery.

10. Read back through your texts from Saturday night.

“Hey.” No, you didn’t. But you did. Read at 12:32 a.m. with no response. Awesome.

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.
