10 Reasons Why I Am Never Leaving College

I did not grow up or meet the most important people in my life until I came to college. As a second semester sophomore, I am already making plans for grad school for public relation or law school. Every time I think about leaving my university, I get depressed. Why should I ever leave undergrad? To the freshies who never take a moment for granted, here is why I won't.

1. Late night food. Your friends will always be there to go grab late night food after a long night. Because we all need fries covered with cheese at 2 a.m. every once in awhile.

2. Drop quizzes and grades. In grad school, you don't get the advantage of a drop quiz if you failed.

3. Sorority. I am going to miss all my sisters, living in a sorority house, social functions, and rush. Let's not forget living with some of my very best friends!

4. A real job. After college, there is the real world with real consequences and real stress. Let's not even mention marriage and kids.

5. Spring break and summer break. No more fun beach trips with friends for an entire week in a beach house you are supposed to be 25 to stay in.

6. Football. Sitting at the student section at football games were some of my most favorite memories and will be the most missed.

7. Napping during the day. Never again will I have the time to curl up in bed after class and nap till dinner.

8. Being ratchet in public. No more wearing an XL shirt with leggings and a bun on top of your head to class. Now you have to wear business casual every day!

9. Traveling. No more studying abroad in Europe and skipping school to go to a music festival.

10. Expenses build up. The grace period is gone and student loans start to pile up. Mommy and Daddy aren't there and you have to start paying them back. Hello, one bedroom apartment!

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.
