The 10 Things At School You Won't Miss This Summer

Be thankful that you get a bathroom of your own for a few months.

The 10 Things At School You Won't Miss This Summer
Purdue University

Finals Week, the week we thought might actually kill us, is now over. So now that you've all breathed a sigh of relief and had numerous weights lifted off your shoulder, the summer fun can begin. Of course after you've packed and unpacked and got all the internships squared away. Other than having to adult now, everything should be all fun in the sun! Try to relax these next few months and reflect on all that you have accomplished. To help you relax check out this list of all the stuff you're NOT going to miss while on break from school.

1. The School Work

I think this one goes without saying. The next time you find yourself awake at three a.m. it won't be because of the massive amounts of homework you have.

2. Early Morning Lectures

As if paying attention in lecture wasn't hard enough, the professor only holds the lecture at one time: 8:30. Now you can sleep in as late as you want, unless your internship or summer job prevents that.

3. The Professor You Hated

His grading scale seemed questionable and he didn't speak English very well but now you never have to deal with him again!

4. Dining Court Food

Sure it might've been good for the first few months, but as the end of the second semester rolled around you were begging for a home cooked meal.

5. The Terrible Internet Access

It sure is nice to scroll through Twitter without having to re-connect to the internet every five minutes.

6. Community Bathrooms

Having a bathroom all to yourself this summer is the best thing since sliced bread. Better make it last until you have to return to the dorms next semester.

7. The Tiny Bedrooms

If you didn't know your roommate very well before college started you sure do now. Embrace the personal space you have while you're home.

8. Walking Everywhere

Even if you did have a car on campus there wasn't a lot of space to drive it around in. Driving around your hometown will be a relief- though your fitbit might wonder what the heck happened.

9. The Smelly Trees on Campus

No you did not step in dog poop; it's just the trees. Seriously someone needs to take care of this before next year.

10. Navigating Through Tour Groups

I swear you only got stuck behind one when you were late to class. This is also caused by number 8.

While you will miss your friends, roommate, and maybe even some of your classes; you know you won't miss the aforementioned things. So spend the whole summer celebrating the fact that you survived college and, hopefully, passed your classes. Enjoy your freedom from gross bathrooms, sub-par food,and hard exams while you can; in a few short months you'll be back trying to survive the mess that is college.

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.
