10 Spontaneous Adventures At College
Julia Araneo

Some might say that being at college is a new kind of adventure that introduces many exciting and scary opportunities. During your days and nights as a college student you will be exposed to a whole new world of possibilities. You will most definitely do a handful of ridiculous things and the best part is that they will never be planned. Here are 10 spontaneous adventures you would be lucky to accomplish in college...

1. Trips to the pet store for multiple fish.

Nothing will replace having your dog or cat, but the closest thing you can have to that now is a fish in a ten gallon tank. The new addition to the dorm won't be the exact same, but it makes it a little better.

2. Long drives to absolutely nowhere.

Theres nothing like a long car ride with great people. Finding open roads in a place you know nothing about is thrilling. With no destination you might be gone for hours and possibly lost, but at least you have a radio.

3. Driving around in October until you find a hay ride.

When its halloween season you're bound to find a place to get your scare on. Obviously you have to take advantage of the pleasure anyone has in paying to be scared and the terrible free hot chocolate afterwards.

4. Good thing Wawa is open 24/7.

You will be hungry at 2am, but don't worry someone else probably is too! Wawa will become a constant in your life that never disappoints.

5. If it snows you have to act like a child again.

A snow storm at college is like a huge competition of who can build a better snowman. However, if thats not your cup of tea, you could be like me and my roommate and steal snow from outside, add gatorade and call it a snow cone!

6. You don't need a sled to have a good time.

If you're bored like my roommate and I were on a wintery night just slip into your rain boots. Go for a walk and make sure to step and slide on every sheet of ice you see. It was the most fun we had and it cost absolutely nothing and you know all college students are broke so free is a good thing.

7. You are good enough to make a music video.

A dorm room is not big enough when its midnight and you and your friends are full of energy. Move the jam session to the common room and record it because why not!? Trust me it will be treasured for years to come!

8. College is stressful so go play with puppies.

If you're lucky there will be a local pet store that allows you to play with their puppies. This will be the highlight of your week because puppies make everything better.

9. Spikeball can be an inside game if you're really determined.

For some reason you get the most energy when you should be sleeping. My friends resorted to playing spikeball in our common room because it was clearly too dark outside!

10. How far is the beach...because we should go!?

You will not want to admit that summer is over and winter is approaching. So in order to escape this reality you will decide a 50 degree day in the fall is perfect beach weather. Sooner or later you'll accept that summer's over, but until then you can be founding getting wind-burn on the sand!


Some of the last minute crazy impulses turn into the best memories...so stay spontaneous!!

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.
