10 Reasons You Shouldn't Go To Emerson College

1. No one has ever heard of it

Especially not graduates like Jay Leno, Henry Winkler, Denis Leary, Bobbi Brown, and Kevin Bright.

2. Emerson never wins any awards

Unless you count landing at #10 on the Hollywood Reporter's Top 25 American Film Schools list, or being the #1 most LGBT-friendly school in the nation, according to the Princeton Review.

3. Living in the heart of Boston is so uneventful

There's never anything going on in the Theatre District, no one ever holds events on the Common or at the Esplanade, and there is absolutely nowhere to shop on Newbury Street or in Downtown Crossing.

4. The professors have too much real-world experience

They're so busy writing novels, being published in major newspapers, and working on popular TV shows.

5. You wouldn't ever want to study abroad

The castle in the Netherlands, the program in Valencia, Spain, and the LA campus definitely don't offer any enriching opportunities.

6. Networking is impossible

Besides The Emerson Mafia, which includes thousands of successful graduates willing to hook you up with jobs and internships, that is.

7. Nothing cool ever happens on campus

Ron Burgundy has never held a press conference at Emerson, there are no free screenings with special guests like Jake Gyllenhaal, and we never have impressive speakers.

8. Students are not at all involved outside of classes

They're only at incredible internships, leading on-campus organizations, pledging sororities and fraternities, holding film shoots, and getting published.

9. The people who attend Emerson are just like everyone else

There's definitely no uniqueness at Emerson. No one is quirky or original at all. You won't find Orientation Leaders dressing up and dancing, there aren't quidditch teams, and you'll never take classes like Love and Eroticism, or Writing the Film Musical.

10. Emerson students love their school too much

They're always talking about how happy they are and writing articles that prove their school is the best.

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.
