In high school, you have the jocks, the nerds, the hipsters, the mean girls, the popular kids, the trouble makers, the over achievers, the under achievers, the goody-two-shoes, and the theater geeks.

In college, you just have college students. College is great and here are 10 reasons why...

1. You get to make your own schedule

Don't want to have class on Friday? You can do that!

2. You're in class an average of 16 hours per week (as opposed to 35).

Seriously...how did I sit in a classroom for that long?

3. There is no dress code.

Oh my gosh.. your shoulders are showing?!?! no one cares...

4. You get to live with your friends.

It's like a sleepover every single night!

5. You can get ice cream at midnight without having to ask your mom if you can leave the house.

...woohoo for freedom!

6. You can take naps in the middle of the day.


Although, studying would be the more responsible thing to do.

7. No one cares if you wear makeup or not.

I woke up like this.

8. Professors are really chill.

Sometimes they don't even show up for class.

9. There is always free food somewhere on campus.

I can have a slice of pizza if I join your club?....sign me up!

10. There is always something to do.

Intramural games, campus ministries, live music, karaoke night, trivia, etc. There is no excuse to be bored at college.

So, enjoy it while it lasts!

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

Let's face it. We've all had those days when it's almost impossible to stay awake or focus during lecture. We often find ourselves dozing off or just staring out into space when we really should be paying attention to what's going on in class. Regardless of whether or not you admit this happens, here are 13 thoughts every student has during lecture:

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.
