7 Things I Found Totally Irrelevant Until I Came To College

A college is a place where you are taking your first steps into adulthood. You are at that awkward time in your life where you are trying to figure yourself out and who you are. There are plenty of things that I found irrelevant until college. And here are some of them listed down below!

1. An Agenda

To be honest in high school I had an agenda, but I did not use it as much as I do now. I would write in my homework that I had every so often but now, MY AGENDA IS MY LIFE. I know a little book does not seem that important, but it is crucial to have in college. I write out my whole day on my agenda and without it, I would honestly be lost.

2. Facetime

I know this sounds weird, but I find myself FaceTiming people all the time now. It might just be because Fort Myers has shitty service and facetime works better with the signal here. I also find myself using facetime more to see my families' beautiful faces and friends that go to different universities. It feels more personable than calling people on audio.

3. Coffee

I have always been a coffee addict, but now I drink it several times a day. Is that bad for you? I don't even know but all I DO KNOW is that I need it in order to get through my days. Catch me at the Starbucks in the library on the daily on campus.

4. Birkenstocks

My parents say that these shoes are typically worn in northern states a lot. But ever since coming to college Birkenstocks have been a huge trend here. There are so easy to just slip on your feet when going somewhere for a quick trip and I find myself wearing them to class all of the time.

5. Chik Fil A Breakfast

Lately, I find myself running to chick fil a for their breakfast meals when running late. Might not be healthy at all but trust me it is worth the try. Their breakfast is definitely life changing and so good. I get their chicken minis with hash browns and THEIR VANILLA COFFEE IS TO DIE FOR.

6. My Laptop

I never found myself using my laptop as much as I do in college. Might be because all of my assignments are put on to canvas, but without my laptop, I would not be able to do anything.

7. Greek Life Tees

I know this may sound dumb, but I would not be able to live without my comfort colored Greek life shirts. That is probably all anyone wears to a class or even if it's just to lounge around in your apartment. I love just being able to throw them on and look somewhat presentable since everyone else will most likely be wearing the same thing.

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.
