30 Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

For most people, college is the first time they move away from home and try to figure out how to live on their own. It can be a scary feeling, but it sure is one heck of an adventure. Here is a list of 30 thoughts college freshmen have within the first year:

1. Do you think anyone will notice that I’ve worn these pants three days in a row?

2. How am I supposed to control myself when I know food is only one card swipe away?

3. I wish I had filled out more scholarship applications.

4. Dorm life definitely isn’t as bad as I thought, but I really miss having my own shower.

5. You mean I don’t have to go to class 35 hours a week like I did in high school?

6. I thought everyone was just kidding about the freshman 15...

7. Dang it, how does she always find time to look cute?

8. When is the next time I can fit in a nap?

9. I hope the whole “you meet your best friends in college” thing isn’t a myth because I really like these guys.

10. *Hopelessly checks email before each class to see if the professor cancelled*

11. Why do I have to take so many gen ed classes?

12. I wish my school offered a room service option because I don’t want to leave my bed to walk to the dining hall.

13. If I can just finish two more pages, I’ll reward myself with an episode of Netflix.

14. I’M TOO YOUNG TO KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH THE REST OF MY LIFE.

15. Do I really not have to raise my hand to go to the bathroom?

16. More free t-shirts?!?!?! No wonder tuition is so expensive…

17. What’s the most strategic way to hang these Command Hooks?

18. Pssssht, of course I can pull an all-nighter to crank out this paper.

19. I shouldn’t have pulled an all-nighter to crank out that paper. No more procrastinating.

20. Well, last time I was able to do 8 pages in one night, so 10 can’t be that hard…

21. Seriously, dude. NO MORE PROCRASTINATING.

22. College is hard, but life without a degree is harder, right?

23. If I can just put off laundry until the weekend, I’ll bring it home and maybe my mom will do it for me because she misses me so much.

24. I wish I wanted to be something like a mechanic or a carpenter so I could skip the whole college thing and still make a lot of money.

25. I honestly can’t remember the last time I washed my hair.

26. Maybe if I make my bed I’ll be less tempted to take a nap…

27. As much as I love it here, I miss my family and friends back at home.

28. How many more years of this????

29. Maybe if I drop out now I can just find some YouTube videos to teach me everything I need to know about my major.

30. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing but I’ll just act like I do and maybe no one will notice.

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.
