Let's face it — we all get bored and distracted in class. I've seen some pretty interesting stuff from sitting in the back of the class, from eating a burger at the front of the class to watching an entire episode of "Game of Thrones" in one class sitting.

1. Go on social media.

2. Look up pictures of dogs.

3. Text their group chat a picture of the cute guy sitting in front of them.

4. Play with Snapchat filters.

5. Do other homework for other classes.

6. Make your Friday night plans.

7. Scroll through Pinterest.

8. Watch YouTube music videos without the sound.

9. Play Words With Friends.

10. Read the news.

11. Try to pay attention because there's a test coming up.

12. Watch Netflix without the sound.

Or, if you're a badass like me, you plug in your earphones right in front of your professor.

13. Swipe on Tinder.

14. Text your mom.

15. Doodle in your notebook.

16. Look at pictures of dogs. Again.

17. Eat Qdoba.

18. Drink that XL coffee.

19. Sleep.

Props to anyone who brings a blanket and pillow.

20. Tag your friends in memes.

21. Make your own memes.

22. Trace lines on the desk.

23. Dig through your backpack until you find the perfect pen.

24. Post on Instagram with the caption, "Wish I was still on the beach rather than sitting in class".

25. Actually pay attention and learn something, THAT'S WHY YOU CAME TO COLLEGE.


Incoming college students, try not to be on social media or text anyone during class. But with this wave of technology washing over and staying here, it's hard not to look at pictures of dogs while your professor is talking about cell reproduction.

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.
