3. Your teacher's office is secretly hidden in the entrance of the Cistern.

4. You skip class to go to the beach ... in November ...

5. You walk out of Cougar Mall with 3 flyers, a donut, and the opportunity to pie a frat guy in the face.

6. You hit up the hotdog stand on Glebe and order the "Starving Student" on your way home from classes.

8. You carry an umbrella in your purse when there's no said chance of rain.

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.

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.
