10 Reasons Why It's Hard To Be Home from College
http://whytoread.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/best-books-book-youll-ever-read.jpg

1. The Reality.

The reality of coming home can be hard because you must come to terms with all of things that changed since you left. Thing's have definitely changed....like everything.


2. Not Seeing Your Friends Every. Single. Day!

You get used to seeing all of your friends every day, since they live either on your hall or within walking distance of your dorm!


3. Parents (Being Parented).

As college students, we’ve gotten used to doing what we want, when we want. We don’t have to ask to do something or go somewhere. Having our parents know everything that we are doing can seems like they’re smothering us.


4. You've changed since you left in August.

Its inevitable, you’ve changed since you left in August. Whether you’re a freshman or a senior, being around new people in a new place, you’re going to change. You mature, and you learn things about yourself in college. This is the time to try new things and explore what you like or you don’t like, and by this point in college you’ve discovered a few of these things already.


5. Home Doesn't Feel Like Home Anymore.

What is home anymore? Home is at school and home is back in your hometown. You have two homes, and it’s confusing. You miss one place while you’re at the other.


6. All The Questions.

"How's School going?" "Studying hard?" "Are you glad to be home?"


7. What is Relaxing?

No exams to study for? No homework?


8. The Awkward Encounters.

You thought you wouldn't see some of the people from high school again...and then you do.


9. Boredom

After the excitement of coming home wears off, there seems to be nothing to do!



10. Packing All Of Your Stuff To Go Home.

How do I have this much stuff? I don't remember having this much stuff...

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
