University of Nevada, Las Vegas is home of the running rebels. It is located in one of the most diverse cities! I'm sure you would've never guessed that one before. However, as glamorous as it may seem to you, there are just some things you would only understand if you actually have gone to UNLV.

1. The parking officers have no mercy.

2. Do you even go to UNLV if you've never had a parking ticket?

3. The student union is actually greek row.

4. Where does The Facebook President of The World actually live?

5. You can't walk by the free speech area without feeling like you have to take all the flyers that are handed to you.

Even though you throw them all in the trash as soon as you walk away.

6. You also can't walk by the free speech area without getting yelled at by one of those guys with the Jesus signs.

Why do they tell everyone they're going to hell?

7. Wine class on Sunday. Yes, that is a class most people look forward to.

8. The top of the Tropicana Parking Garage is not just a place to park cars.

9. You get a lot of free stuff like Canes, concert tickets, foam parties, and even a chance to pet goats?

Glad to know where our tuition is going.

10. The majority of you drive at least 30 minutes to get to campus.

So technically, you have an excuse as to why you're always late.

11. Surrendering your Wednesday (or any other weekday) to go to the club, even though you have a morning class is a common decision.

12. Alcohol, drugs, and bums on campus. You name it, we've seen it.

None of this comes as a shocker to us. I mean after all, we are from UNLV.

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.
