What To Expect When You First Move In
campusconsult.com

Every college freshman has waited for it: Move-In week. You spent all summer long working, saying goodbye to friends and family, and buying things in anticipation for your brand new shiny life to begin. But what happens when the chaos of move in day ends and everything is organized and in place?

1. You Attend Social Events Hosted By Your Dorm In Hopes To Make Friends.

Human Bingo, Tye-Dyeing shirts, Pizza Parties... You get the drill. The first week you're always around people and you're bound to find that one group where everyone just kind of clicks.

2. There's Always That One Kid That Receives A Nickname Within The First Week Of Being On Campus.

In my dorm however, that's the one kid who religiously plays Forza in the first floor lounge of the dorm on the Xbox One. His Nickname? Forza Guy*

*- Subject to change depending on whomever is speaking of him.

3. It's Only Been A Week And The Sight Of Pizza Is Already Repulsive.

You have already eaten pizza 5 out of the 7 days in a week. You are also 105% certain that if you see another doughy pie with tomato sauce and cheese you will throw it in the trash.

4. You Most Likely Haven't Slept Well In Over 48 Hours So Why Even Try?

"Sleep is for the weak!" You cry as you fall asleep on the sofa in the first floor lounge while Forza guy plays well... Forza.

5. The Best Part Is That Right Now Campus Is Not Super Busy So That's Good.

You can actually get around and do things without running into a massive herd of students in the middle of a courtyard! Good for you!

6. Syllabus Week Is Coming Up And You Still Don't Know Where Anything Is.

Where's that classroom again? Oh you have to take 4 staircases, 3 elevators, and a horse to get there.

7. Even Amongst The Chaos, You're Having The Time Of Your Life.

College may be new and crazy, but among the ups and downs you are definitely having the best time of your life and sharing it with those around you.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
