8 Things You'll Never Hear College Students Say

Nope, never.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

2. "I'm going to be a responsible adult"

Well, I did my own laundry if that counts.


3. "I will stop spending so much money on food"

My eating routine consists of breakfast, breakfast part 2, brunch, brunch part 2, lunch, lunch part 2, dinner, dinner part 2, and a midnight "snack".

4. "I will take great notes in all of my classes"

Expectations, sigh.

5. "Goodbye, procrastination"

Although I spent more than 12 hours on this paper, I'm sure I can finish it by 3 a.m.

6. "I had a great, relaxing weekend"

Said no college student ever. What's a weekend without 3 papers, 2 presentations, and 2 tests worth 50% of my grade?

7. "I don't miss homemade food"

I had the wonderful opportunity, as a commuter student, to try food from the campus dining hall. I have to admit that I am so grateful for homemade food!

8. "I'll start studying for finals one month early"

This one is quite difficult of a goal to accomplish since the curriculums haven't been completed yet. Nonetheless, we can start revising old notes in the meantime.

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.
