Have you ever looked at yourself and was like wow, I'm pretty awesome! Narcissism and excessive self-love is a huge problem within us today. You may think you have confidence but there is a big difference between confidence and overconfidence.

1. When you believe you’re always right.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to prove someone wrong or tell them off but when you have an invalid argument and keep saying you are correct it just makes you look bad.

2. When you constantly post about yourself on social media.

I’m sorry, but people can handle so much of your “amazing life." It kind of gets annoying.

3. Checking yourself out 24/7.

You may not realize you are doing this but I guarantee you, everyone else does.

4. Always talking about yourself.

Come on now, can someone else please get a word in.

5. Being loud and proud.

We need to repeat this a second time, there is a difference between being confident and cocky.

6. When you put people down.

Telling people they are not good enough to bring their self-esteem down so you can have an ego boost is not okay.

7. When you try to make themselves look good in any circumstance.

You try to perceive yourself as better than who you really are.

8. Appearance means everything.

Come on now, does it really matter how “hot” you are all the time?

9. No bad pictures on social media.

You can’t let anyone know you have bad and ugly days.

10. Excuses, excuses.

When you make excuses for everything. People will catch on.

11. When you are obsessed with power.

Being a leader is great and all but being a leader just to get people under your wing will get people to dislike you, for sure.

12. The blame game.

You don’t think you did anything wrong because you’re always right.

13. Selfie is life!

Enough said.

14. When you feel under appreciated by the people who love you most.

They have a reason for loving you. Appreciate that!

15. Instead of listening, you either interrupt or wait until it’s your turn to speak.

Not everyone wants to hear about you, please give someone else a chance to speak.

Although these 15 signs may sound a little harsh, narcissism is a huge problem today. I hope everyone has the courage to step out of this "disease" and realize you shouldn't be this kind of person. I know I have!

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
