10 Lies College Students Tell Their Parents

1. You don’t drink/do drugs

Drugs? Never heard of them. Your parents clearly know you do stupid shit in college, they only care that you're safe while doing them. They would prefer you don’t do them, but because college is so stressful, we have no intention of actually harming our bodies. We simply just want to relieve the stress through recreational drugs.

2. You're getting good grades

I only have one A, two BCs and one C, and I dropped a math class. So, I should end up around a 2.5ish. I think that’s a fair grade, don’t you think? I mean Cs get degrees.

3. You still clean your room

Hell no. I'm lazy as shit.

4. You’re not broke

Cardboard boxes seems like a fine place to raise a family.

5. You have your future all planned out

Being a stripper doesn’t sound too bad.

6. You miss your parents the most about being home

It clearly is your dog or any pet, and if you don’t have a pet then it’s your bed. I love my parents, don’t get me wrong and I know you do, too. But c’mon, our dogs and beds are more important. They understand us better than our parents anyways so it’s only fair.

7. You tell them that you gave their change back in their wallet when you clearly pocketed it

Shh. I will cut you if you rat me out.

8. You're not sexually active

Haha yeah good one, I’ve never seen breasts either...

9. You found a healthy hobby, sleeping off that hangover

I love bed. Bed loves me.

10. You’re not addicted to caffeine or anything addictingSo the next time you go home for the holidays, just remember that you're parents went through this shit too or something similar. It is to the benefit of the college student to acknowledge their parents pestering questions, and answer them in the safest way possible. So this holiday season, why be on the naughty list when you can simply alter your response to put you on the good one. We're not lying, we're just fixing our stance so that we can get some presents this Christmas.

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.
