A List Of The Weirdest Things I've Done In College
Miranda Hemsworth

College is a great time for learning and finding out who you are. Many people use their four years in school to become active in organizations and clubs. Some just have a good time. I like to believe I'm healthy medium between all these. Before you go to school, you read articles telling you about how to love living with a roommate or spice up ramen. But no one talks about the weird stuff that happens to you once you and your peers find all this new found freedom.

1. Sat on a King size bed and ate Jell-O shots until I blacked out. What was the occasion? Death of a Bachelor was released.

2. Woke up in a bedroom that had a machete stuck in the wall.

3. Kept Halloween decorations up the entire time I lived in a house.

4. Made "sangria" that actually was just 7 bottles of $3 wine poured together in a pitcher with fruit. And then we proceeded to drink it out of the empty wine bottles instead of glasses. This then became our house drink.

5. Drove an hour and a half to the neighboring state with my best friend just to find an ice skating rink.

6. Drove thirteen hours with some of my sorority sisters to Iowa to see Bernie Sanders. We planned the whole trip in a matter of 5-6 hours.

7. On the Iowa trip, I got a selfie with Ezra Koenig, the lead singer of Vampire Weekend.

8. In order to chase out the party straggler's in my house, I played Rebecca Black's song Friday through the speakers.

9. The waiters at Applebee's add us on snapchat and expect us at the same time every week.

10. Bought a gecko as a pet because an upperclassmen had one, and I wanted to be cool.

11. The cafeteria's hot water went out so they served all the food on Styrofoam plates.

12. Went to the Amtrak station in a neighboring town, told people I was hopping on a train to Rhode Island.

We also stole a saw horse on the trip for no reason. Then proceeded to tell people that we brought a horse back from Rhode Island.

13. Took ski lessons as a college credit. And then twisted my knee and had to be dragged down the mountain in a tarp by ski patrol.

14. Swam in a truck pool. On multiple occasions.

15. Stole fancy cheese from Wal-Mart because I didn't want to pay $8 for gouda, but I wanted the wine & cheese party to be a success.

16. Made people shots of bottom shelf vodka and hot sauce.

When I took the shot, I ended up throwing up blood.

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.
