Truths Only College Students Understand

You are willing and able to sleep in places you would’ve never considered before.

Truths Only College Students Understand

1. Due tomorrow = do tomorrow.

College students have perfected the art of procrastination.

2. Your GPA and your bank account seem to be in a race towards zero.

Checking either is cringe-worthy.

3. Classes might have just started, but it already feels like you’re months behind.

Why in the world would any professor think it’s okay to expect you to have read three chapters of your textbook by the second week of class?

4. Two words that will draw any college kid in: “free” and “cancelled.”

Sure, every cancelled class technically puts you out a few hundred bucks, but who really cares? It means you can sleep in! And free food?—or free anything, for that matter—count us in.

5. A normal sleep schedule is like a unicorn…we wish it was a real thing, but it just isn’t.

Some nights you’ll sleep for 10 hours and some nights you’ll be lucky to get two.

6. Dropping 20 bucks on food is no big deal, but when it comes to spending that much on a shirt you really think long and hard about whether or not it’s worth it.

Because obviously something that will be used over and over and over again is way less important than one meal that will be gone in a matter of minutes.

7. You are willing and able to sleep in places you would’ve never before considered sleeping.

Benches, floors, tables, etc. If you’re tired, just about anything can become a makeshift bed.

8. No matter what, you will get sick.

You can take daily vitamins, get a decent amount of sleep, eat right (well, right-ish), work out...you can do everything right and still end up sick.

9. You cannot have good grades, a social life, and plenty of sleep.

You might get two, max.

10. You will do a lot of things for a free T-shirt.

“Oh, all I need to do to get this T-shirt is fill out this form with tons of personal information? Sure, I’m in!”

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.
