10 Signs Winter is Coming on a College Campus
Huffpost TV

On every campus, there's always a time where you can tell winter is upon us. As we finish off the end of the semester, here are some of the things you've probably noticed around your school.

1. Everyone, probably including yourself, is getting sick

When you’re on campus, everyone seems to get sick simultaneously… and you’re stuck being surrounded by all of them.

2. The lines for coffee are almost unbearable

Emphasis on almost… we all know it’s worth the wait for a hot cup on a cold day. (And the caffeine may or may not be needed after pulling those all-nighters during finals week.)

3. Everyone is 10 times more stressed than usual


With finals around the corner, our sleep deprived days are spent studying, writing essays, and crossing the days off your calendar until break.

4. It’s even more acceptable to not care about your outfit for multiple days in a row

Tis the season of sweatpants, hoodies, and slippers.

5. Everything. Is. Holiday. Themed. Everything!!

Trees and lights in every window, almost every radio station playing classics, and every café catering to the holiday flavors. From the moment Thanksgiving is over, it’s full on holiday season.

6. You’re already making plans to see your college friends over the break

Because as much as you love home, you can’t go that long without your them.

7. Your professors slowly become more lenient

They’re just as anxious for break to come as we are.

8. Your bed becomes your best friend

Come the cold weather, it gets harder and harder to leave the warmth of your bed every morning.

9. Your diet slips, just a little

Because as much as we try to keep up with it, the holiday foods are just too tempting.

10. You realize cuffing season is a real thing


The winter season calls for making it official with a special someone to share it 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.

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.
