Medieval art was pretty legendary, but so is college. Let's see what they have in common.

What Medieval Artists Really Meant: College Edition

Medieval artists created some beautiful artwork. I'm sure they had no idea that hundreds of years later, their paintings would be relevant to our crazy, college lives. Here is my interpretation of this artwork:

When you look in the mirror before you go out, thinking you're looking real good.

When the whole squad is on fleek for a night out.

When you and your girls' favorite song comes on.

When you see the frat in the distance, but you still have to walk so far.

When you edit and post a picture on Instagram while you're out, and you show all your friends ... and it actually looks horrible.

When you walk into the party and see one of your friends from afar.

When you see another girl talking to bae.

When you finally get a drink after waiting in line forever.

When you wake up the next day, and you didn't wash off your makeup.

When you tell your friend you guys are leaving, but she wants to stay.

When your friends have already cut you off for the night, but you want to try to sneak some more.

And then this happens because you didn't listen to them.

And maybe some of this.

When your friend posts a picture and you're photobombing accidentally in the background like:


When you see your friend across the dance floor and you look at her like:

Throwing up the deuces in all your pictures.

When a frat guy asks, "Who do you know here?" and you just walk in with your girls like:

When you're waiting in line for the bathroom. For an hour.

The after-effects of Fireball.


When you finally pick your formal date.

When your friends are trying to convince you to go out, but you have an exam tomorrow.

When someone buys an Uber to get you all home.

When you and your friends finally make it home after a long night.

When you think about all the studying you have to do for finals, but you're trying to stay calm.

Medieval art is officially my favorite type of art.

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.
