Elle Woods changed my life growing up, she instantly became one of my role models, a face for justice. As a child, she inspired me to become apart of the social science community of Journalism and of Law. But, I must not forget style. Most importantly, Elle taught me that I could do anything even if i am doubted by my own peers.

There is only one way to start and end the day: listening to catchy songs that make you feel special, like “Perfect day” by Hoku.

You get excited at the slightest opportunity so when things don’t go as planned academically or socially you can’t help but lose your cool in public.

You have an emotional breakdown after your test because half of what you studied for wasn’t even on it?

Introducing yourself for the first time always goes better than you think.


Sometimes you need to escape campus life because, you start needing a sense of reality to remind you why you are at school to begin with.

When you are forced to participate in a group project, so you try to find people you don’t know. It is not like grade school where the teacher will pair you up. You will have to deal with difficult personalities and not let it affect your success. Even in the most prestiges of schools you will find that people are the same and that you are in charge of where you go with the right attitude leading the way.

You’re constantly trying new things and it sucks when things don’t happen how you pictured them to. Sometimes you have to take a step back and realize it is for the best after all. Next week an opportunity will interrupt your life and you will forget your original plan.


Believe it or not everyone is at college for a reason so don’t make your experience any less valuable because someone doubts your intelligence. In a couple of years everyone who attends college will graduate with some kind of debt and a different major so don't let the narrow mindsets of others change your perspective. People will always try and find weakness.

You realize that you’ve grown so much by the second half on your freshman year that you are becoming more capable of handling the most difficult of people and situations. Minimizing your role in drama surrounding those who didn't bother to make you important is just the beginning of becoming a good role model.

In order to stand out, you have to be yourself no matter what others think. Don’t let the judgments of others change your personality. If wearing bright colors in a dull colored room offends anyone they are seriously disturbed.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
