Living on campus for a year was way more on-campus experience than I needed...

10 Reasons Why I Am Excited to be Moving Back Home
on campus housing somewhere

I've lived on campus for a total of one full school year - two semesters - and I really don't know why I did it that second semester because I hated living there the first one why did I think it would be better this semester? Oh, because I stupidly trusted someone that used to be my friend that this semester it would be extremely fun because it'll be with three other people. Boy, was I stupid and was she wrong.

1. My terribly insane roommates.


If I could forget the time one of my roommates threatening to murder me or the time she physically attacked me when I asked her to clean up her messes. Or them being way too loud in the middle of the night while I was sleeping or the rudeness and thievery I might be able to say my roommates arent that bad...just kidding, they suck. I am so tired of living with crazy people who threaten my life and no one on campus does anything to help including RAs and RDs. I will be really comforted by the thought that when I move back home and commute, I'll be safer and happier.

2. Money.

Since I'll be living at home with my family, I'll save money on things such as food, utilities, and basic house items. This means a lot to me since I've recently had to get a car and therefore owe thousands of dollars in car payments and insurance. It was really a hassle having to buy everything for the on-campus apartment when no one else bought anything while I am a full-time student and I can only work a few hours a week because of the classes. I am grateful to be able to live at home with family so my mother can help me live.

3. Food.

This kind of goes along with the money aspect because food was a big issue for me and I went a few days or weeks without eating a lot simply because I did not have the funds. Even though my mother does not have time to cook dinner for my sister and I at home because she has to work all the time, it will be nice to go downstairs and be able to make myself food without forcing my body to endure starvation.

4. The noise throughout the day.

I am so tired of hearing loud noises coming from all over in my apartment because of either my roommates in the next room or the campus surrounding us.It will be a blissful change to be able to study and relax in my house as a commuter without annoying, drunk college kids constantly making noise. I may sound like an old lady, but those who hate people would agree with me too.

5. My animals.

I have eight cats, three dogs, a lizard, many fish, and a bird so I love animals. I really could not take living away from them, so I'm really excited to be surrounded by my lovely babies. Animals really keep my stress levels down and keep me sane, so imagine how bad I felt when I wasn't around them all the time because I had been living on campuses.

6. My school work.

Since there will be silence at my house unlike it was when I lived on the college campus, it will be much easier for me to successfully complete my assignments and study better for my exams so my grades and overall school life will improve and not just my living situation. I will also be able to focus since I won't have people leaving or entering where I am and asking me to hang out with them or them hanging out in my room, therefore disrupting my studies.

7. My bed.

College beds are crap. They are hard, uncomfortable and disgusting. Other people have laid in them and have had sex in them which freaks me out and makes me yearn for my old bed at home that only I've slept in. My bed at home is comfortable and relaxes me more than the college's beds do.

8. Freedom.

The terrible college campus I was living at had such strict rules and qualities that messed up my every day living. For instance, I made perogies and after two seconds of the food cooking in the oven, the fire alarm went off and the school had the audacity to write me a warning about my irresponsibility when their fire alarms are more sensitive than a horny girl's nipple.

9. Work.

Since I work really close to my college and my actual house, it is no problem for me to go to work either way. Except, living at home will allow me to go to bed early if needed for work and wake up early as well instead of having to be super silent waking up and having to tell your roommates to stop partying so you could sleep. I will also be able to work in other stores with my job instead of just the one close to my school because they will now know I am able to drive longer distances.

10. Cleanliness.

Because of my irrational OCD over how clean my room is and how I always want the simplest of items and the smallest amount of things to own, living with three other people who were completely messy and cluttered really bothered my mentality and stress. I have never seen more messy people until I started living on a university campus and it really stressed me out insanely. I am so happy to be going back home at the end of the semester to my clean, organized bedroom.

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.
