16 Signs You've Met Your College Family

If you're like me, you've been blessed with a college family. These are the people you talk to almost every day, give updates of when it's almost time for grilled cheese Thursday, and these are the people you confide in with every detail of your life.

1. You have a group message that gets texted in almost every minute of every day.


It has an iconic name that only the people in your group message would understand. Your phone buzzes off the hook when really it's just the group message with notices of hot guy warnings, pictures of outfit choices, and rants of overwhelming workloads.

2. Every morning, you look forward to waking up and seeing these beautiful faces.


I literally walk down the stairs of my apartment and bang on one of my best friend's door just to say good morning (we were ironically placed as neighbors in our complex).

3. These are your number one supporters.


They help you get ready for date functions, give you a million other closets to borrow clothes and shoes from, provide you with endless compliments, and make you feel like you're on top of the world.

4. These are the people you confide in with your deepest secrets.

They know anything and everything about you, and still love you to no end.

5. When you're sick, they're the one's who deliver medicine to your door.

You practically have built in nurses.

6. You're complete savages together (nobody has a filter) and that's the best part, because you know they'll always tell you the harsh truth.

7. These are the people who never judge you, no matter how much of a freak you may be.


You hang out almost every day, and never get tired of each other (okay maybe sometimes, but all you need is a couple of hours, and it's back to being crazy together).

8. Dance parties are endless.

Whether it's 9am in the kitchen, 2pm on the Quad, or 12am at someone's house, they're always up to dance with you.

9. These are the only people who can make fun of you, and it be okay.

You falling down a hill a year ago, and completely wiping out, is still a topic that gets brought up - but it's funny, so it's okay.

11. You motivate each other throughout the endless days of work.

You might've had a bad day, but it's okay, because when you get home you can all watch the Bachelor, stuff your faces with junk food, and rant about your days together.

12. You're bad influences to each other, but also each other's best influences.


There's nobody else you'd rather be in shambles with, but also be successful with.

13. These are the first people you report back to when you get an A on an exam, or bake the best cookies ever, because nobody else cares, but you know they will.

14. You always have something to do.

Whether it be tanning at the pool, tailgating, studying at the library, or having coffee dates together, there's always someone there.

15. Without a doubt, these are the people you'd drop anything for.


If it was 12pm or 12am, you're always ready for some kind of adventure with them.

16. These are the people who make up your college family, away from your biological family.

Life sure is an endless roller coaster of fun with them, and there's no one else you'd rather do college with.

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.
