10 Things You'll Miss About The Dorms

The liberating feeling of finally moving off-campus is all part of growing up. We all miss things about our past as we get older and living in the dorms is no exception.

1. The Cafe.

Who actually wants to cook for themselves?

2. Sharing a room.

Although having your own room is great for privacy, there's nothing better than having someone to have sleepovers with every night.

3. People randomly walk into your room at all hours of the day.

This seemed like one of the most frustrating things. When you live off-campus, you miss these random quick visits that actually turn into hanging out for hours.

4. The Market.

Because who wants to cook, or better yet, drive to the grocery store?

5. Flex Money/Campus Cash.

You feel so rich -- until you're down to $10 three weeks into school.

6. News travels fast.

Snow day?! You best believe someone's running up and down the hall with the news.

7. Your RA.

This is like your parent at school. They're always there for you if you need someone to talk to, a hug, or help because your toilet is clogged.

8. Being extremely close to your classes.

Waking up five minutes before your class isn't a problem when you live on campus.

9. The convenience of everyone being together before you go out.

You always know when and where something is going on by simply walking down the hallway. You don't have to deal with phone calls, texts, or even Facebook events to know what's up.

10. The feeling of togetherness the dorms bring.

Living off-campus is a rite of passage that makes you feel older, more mature and gives you a sense of freedom. But there's nothing like being surrounded by your friends and an all-you-can eat buffet in your building.

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.
