When you get to college, there are moments that you are proud of and moments that you are not proud of. What really makes college interesting are those awkward moments that you just can't avoid. Here are nine awkward things that have happened to me, some that still happen to me as my first semester of college comes to a close.

1. When you take someone's clothes out of the dryer because their stuff was sitting in the dryer for 45 minutes and you have class, and they walk in.

2. Holding the door for someone and standing there awkwardly while they try the half sprint-half playing it cool awkward jog.

3. That awkward look you give to people that you met at a party the night before because you don't know if they remember you or what to even say to them.

4. Seeing the girl who was vomiting her guts out everywhere the night before in the bathroom the next morning.

5. Seeing people that you talked to during the first week but haven't talked to since.

6. When someone you met the second week of school and haven't seen since says hi to you followed by your name, but you forgot their name and just say hi, but they have figured out that you have forgotten their name.

7. Getting a question completely wrong in a big lecture.

8. Running into someone over the weekend that you don't want to speak to.

9. Going to a townhouse party over the weekend ... it speaks for itself.

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.
