In the classroom or not, I learned a lot.

What I Learned From 2 Years In College
msecnd.net

I finished up my second year of college in April, and as I reflect on how fast it's going I've also realized how much I've learned in just four semesters.

1. It's possible to wake up at 7:30 and still make it to your 8 a.m. Early.

2. Popcorn is definitely a meal.

3. Taco Bell for dinner two nights in a row is perfectly fine.

4. How to fit as much laundry as possible in the washer without causing a flood.

5. How to make $10 last a whole week.

6. It's alright to punch a guy in the face after he inappropriately touches you at a party.

7. Take advantage of the free Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich on Tuesdays.

8. Go to class before you buy the $250 textbook. You're probably not going to need it.

9. No one is going to judge you if you take a nap on that bench. Or that chair.

10. Pedialyte. That's all.

11. Testing how long you can go without a shower. (four days).

12. If you wear leggings all the time you don't notice when you gain weight.

13. Dating is weird. And really hard.

14. What it's like to fail a class.

15. Greek life is the best part of college.

16. Beer is literally the worst.

17. The 4 for $4 meal at Wendy's was made for college students.

18. You're going to cry. A lot.

19. The three jobs you're balancing are not worth the stress. Just be poor.

20. You're going to have a lot of fun.

These are just some of the things I've learned in my time in school and I cannot wait for what else I have to learn.

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.
