10 Signs Your College Is Your Home
ACU

Between the constant trips to the library and increasing independence, college is hard. Luckily, knowing you've picked a campus that will become your home for 4 years sure does help the process. I am a sophomore at Abilene Christian University and I can honestly say that I have found home at my university. Here's how you know that you're home:

1. You miss your school when you're on breaks or visiting family

2. You tell people you're from *insert college town here* when they ask where you live

3. You crave the familiar, mediocre food the cafeteria serves

4. You feel a sense of happiness when you see a landmark of your school

5. You know the campus like the back of your hand

6. Your friends at school are your family

7. During summer break, you can't wait to go back to school

8. You have as much pride in your city as you do in your school

9. You also constantly make fun of and down-talk your college's town because you know that it won't waver your love for it

10. You can't imagine attending a different school with different people

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.
