West Virginia University and all it's glory. If you're ever wondering what school someone goes to, look for these traits.

1. Parking Money < Thirsty Thursday

It’s a Wednesday night. You know you have class in the morning and you have $1.50 in quarters in preparation for parking. You’ll be parked there for more than an hour, but you’ll hope you don’t get a ticket. You look at those quarters on your desk and think, “But it’s Thirsty Thursday…” If you go to Annex you can get drinks for 25 cents, and for all of you who know it by it’s former name, you know it’s glory. Come on, Thursdays are basically free drinks, are you going to pass it up?

2. No Where To Park... Ever.

You’re on your way to class and you’re awake and ready to learn. Most days you’re overtired and groggy, but no, not today. You put your left turn signal on to pull into the Mountainlair garage. Instantly you see break lights everywhere, and guess what? Not one single spot. You drive around and someone’s backing out. You’re waiting for them to back out, then suddenly someone cuts you off and steals it. So, now you get out your phone and text that one kid that always sends you the notes and you take your loss and leave.

3. What's The Move?

You have headphones in on your way to math. You see someone you know, so you take them out to talk to them. They ask you what you’re doing tonight, and the infamous, “Are you going downtown tonight?”, or “Is anything going on tonight?” comes up in conversation.

4. Country Roads, Take Me Home

You’re at a house party with your friends and none of you know who’s house it is. All of a sudden you feel a connection in the room. Yes, Country Roads is blaring through the cheap speakers of a college house and everyone inside is singing along.

5. I Shouldn't Yell This Right Now, But I Will..

Now it’s getting a little out of control because every time you hear the word Pitt you want to scream, “EAT SHIT PITT!” No matter where you are, you just can’t contain it.

When you hear “Let’s go!” in any context you want to yell, “MOUNTAINEERS!”

6. Early Classes Are For The Birds

It’s time to schedule classes and you’re avoiding 8:30’s at all costs. You’re going to avoid 9:30’s as well because let’s face it, 9:30 is an 8:30 in disguise.

7. Hi, My Name's Jimmy Frey

If you recognize this name you're probably familiar with this line: "Hey add me on Snapchat!", and somehow every Friday you hear, "Happy Freyday!" I'm not sure how, but you see him everywhere and everyone knows him. He'll always say, "Put your number in my phone!" and you'll probably reply with, "Yeah, you already have it, I met you yesterday..."

8. Life Science Stairs... Dun Dun Dun

You’re walking to psychology and you’re already pacing yourself. You’re about to take on the Life Science stairs. Say that out loud, you’ll cringe. Don’t worry though, by the end you’ll have phenomenal legs. That’s one of the perks of having a campus with mountains.

9. But At Least I Live Downtown, Right?

You’re looking for a house to live in and you finally found one. It’s falling apart, overpriced, kind of gross; But it’s downtown. You’re sold.

10. Casa Pizza, Is The Pizza For You And Me!

You’re walking up High Street (maybe stumbling) after a night out. You and your best friend look at each other and you both say, “Casa?” at the same time. Sometimes you'll even offer to pay for their slice, and they'll act like it's the best gift they've ever recieved. Yes, the pizza is way better when you’re drunk, and no, it never gets old when you’re drunk.

11. I Have To Get A 100% On My Final To Get A 'B' In This Class...

It’s finals week and you are at the library studying hard; what a dedicated student. The real story is that you’ve only done “okay” for the whole semester and the final is going to decide your grade. You can do it though; Eliza’s even has free coffee on the 4th floor.

12. Dogs And Hammocks, Everywhere

The weather is starting to get nice again. There are people just swinging from trees in hammocks. There are dogs everywhere and you probably want to pet them all. People are throwing footballs and baseballs and you're praying you don't get hit. Oh, and if you know about the duck rentals you might see a few ducklings running around.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
