Being a brand new college freshman, I would like to say the journey is very interesting. Fun, new, exciting, and...interesting. What I learned from my two days here so far (yeah I know I'm so experienced right?) is that your college experience will be exactly how you make it out to be. If you want to seclude yourself to your dorm all the time and not socialize your experience will be lonely. If you want to get yourself out there by being optimistic and voicing your opinions on things and breaking out of your comfort zone, your experience will be one you most likely will never forget. Now, without further ado, here are the type 5 TRUE things all college freshman should know when they make their way to the beginning of the real world.

1. Your dinner 4 out of the 7 days of the week will most likely be McDonalds or amazingly stale Ramen.

Hey, at least you can ice cream and watch Netflix in your dorm whenever you want.


2. You can't have the bathroom all to yourself whenever you want.

I know, I know, you decided to have Taco Bell and...yeah that's pretty much it you decided to have Taco Bell. Can't help ya there, especially when you have four other roommates. Patience is a virtue my friend.


3. You are going to love some of your classes and you're going to wish you dropped that Calculus class first semester.

C'mon, push through! I know you can do it!


4. Your dorm room may also be your entire floor's dorm room some nights.

I'm telling you...great way to make friends. Just be smart.


5. And lastly...you will get through it.

Point 5, speaks for itself.

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.
