10 Reasons Why I Am Still A Kid At Heart

Eighteen does not make you an adult.

10 Reasons Why I Am Still A Kid At Heart
Morgan Ameel

We like to think that once we get to college we are all grownup, but reality is we are all still kids at heart. At least I am and I am sure that some of you may realize that you do some of these things too.

1. I get homesick

Don't get me wrong, college is super fun and I am having a blast with all of my new friends, but I still miss my mom and dad every once and a while. I still need to go home from time to time to feel like I am still part of the family.

2. Sometimes I can't "adult" anymore

Doing college, feeding yourself, working, and making sure you are getting enough sleep. These are all things that sometimes are too adult for me to handle.

3. I still love Disney

The day that I stop loving Disney will be a sad day indeed.

4. Mario Kart...and other games too

I will always be up for a game of Mario Kart or Just Dance in between studying.

5. I still freak out when I see a puppy

Adults don't tend to scream "LOOK AT THE PUPPY!"...but I do

6. Horrible time management

I realize that adults have that too, but I feel as though it is much more common in kids.

7. Cuddle parties with my friends

Adults don't do that, do they?

8. I keep all of my snapchat streaks

My parents can barely even work snapchat and getting them to keep up a streak is like pulling teeth

9. My finances are pathetic

College kills my bank account, but I didn't have that much to begin with anyway

10. Dependent

At the end of the day, my parents still pay for my phone, my car insurance, and help me out every once in a while. But I don't mind, I can be a kid for a little while longer.

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.
