8 Things A College Girl Can't Live Without
Sara Jane Bowers

College brings in so many new elements to a girl's daily life. From not being able to have an iron in your dorm, to having way less time to get ready and so many events scheduled you have to buy the biggest planner that they sell. But college girls can't live without these things–well, at least my friends and I can't. Maybe you can relate.

1. Dry shampoo.

It literally works miracles. Trust me when I say you will need to wash your hair but have only like 10 minutes to get ready in the morning or before you head out. And you would much rather spend that time on getting your face on fleek or shaving those legs real quick. Dry shampoo literally takes like three minutes max and is so, so great. Trust me. Your new best find is at Ulta, or sometimes I find it at TJ MAXX for like $5.

2. Rainboots.

That walk to class in the pouring rain really dampens your day (lol). But some rain boots will really make it not as bad. If you don't believe me, wait until it rains and you'll understand.

3. A good relationship with your local barista.

When you're running late to class but have to have your morning pick me up, it's good to see someone who will know your order and that if you're running, it means you need it in half the time.

4. Mexican food.

Chips and salsa should be its own food group. Seriously. It's kinda cheap and the service is super fast.

5. Fried Chicken Wednesday.

It's the best day of the week, hands down. The day everyone is eating in the dining hall because of it.

6 Portable charger.

For when your phone isn't going to make it throughout the day and you need a little back up juice to help get you through. These are super cheap and you can find them almost anywhere!

7. Go-to shoes.

A pair of shoes that are super comfy and you will probably wear every day. This is more in general but if you don't have a pair of these by now, you should get some!

8. Friends.

Make some friends! That seems like it doesn't need explaining, but these really will be the best days of your life and having friends there by your side is a necessity.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
