If you've ever lived in the Midwest, than you know how terrifying yet exciting tornado season is. However, what can be even more "exciting" is watching the reactions of those who haven't lived in here. Now imagine a tornado warning, with over 100 girls in the basement of your freshman dorm, all during Finals week. Here are a few thoughts I had..

  1. If someone tells me to get in the shelter I will cry.
  2. "LADIES GET DOWN TO THE BASEMENT" is the worst thing in the world
  3. Man, a lot of girls live here!
  4. I've never even see that girl before, who are you...you don't live here.
  5. What if I'm stuck with nothing but girls for hours that would be awful..
  6. Awww it's like a giant sleepover but you know, dangerous..
  7. If I have to pee is that frowned upon? The bathroom is right there.
  8. Nah..ill just hold it.
  9. CRAP! I don't have shoes on my mom would be so disappointed.
  10. I should text my mom and tell her I'm safe, that would be nice of me.
  11. She wasn't worried that's fine.
  12. LOL Texas girl in the corner is FREAKING OUT.
  13. Welcome to Oklahoma friend where the wind really does sweep down the planes and through buildings.
  14. What if you didn't grow up with naders that would suck..
  15. Ok...but they have like earthquakes in Cali that would be actually the worst.
  16. I FORGOT TO FEED MYSELF.
  17. Honestly I never feed myself this isn't a new thing but now it's magnified because people are hungry around me.
  18. I have I final at 8am tomorrow I got stuff to do.
  19. Do I have to take my finals if a tornado hits a building?
  20. That would be sad but honestly I deserve summer time I've worked hard.
  21. Where's my roommate?!?!
  22. Oh there she is. Glad to see you gurl
  23. Oh my gosh she has snacks!
  24. First of all bless you x77 I love you.
  25. my laptop won't connect to the WIFI this is actually the worst.
  26. I should have brought my book but noooo I had to be a modern college kid and count on the Internet.
  27. HAIL! Awesome. Fantastic. That's what everyone needs right now is hail damage
  28. Alright it's hot now this needs to end..
  29. someone's dad is here because he was trying to move his daughter out.
  30. Not all heroes wear capes.
  31. I wonder if that hot guy in my anatomy class is safe right now, I've never talked to him but I felt a connection.
  32. Stay safe super hot guy we have a final Thursday.
  33. I haven't studied for that..
  34. LOLOLOLOLOLOL send help.
  35. Oh man that girl is in a dress and heels
  36. I'm in a giant t-shirt and shorts..
  37. What if I die like this and someone finds my body without makeup on and with my hair in a mess, I'd be an ugly dead person right now so I can't die my grandma warned me about this, I'm never going to get married.
  38. I literally move out in 4 days I don't have time for this.
  39. My roommate is telling me the weather update every 8 seconds so I'm super safe I don't need to check.
  40. It's been 45min this isn't fun anymore..
  41. Also my gum has lost its flavor so everything is just bad.
  42. You know it could be worse I could be stuck in the all boys dorms.
  43. ...would that really be a bad thing Dia?
  44. Yes. Yes the smell is that bad you deserve better than that.

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.
