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.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
