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!

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.
