10 Reasons College Is The Best Four Years
Emma Thor

People say College is the best four years and cherish those moments. I am entering my senior year of college. My three years of college has been the most memorable experiences yet. Here are the 10 reasons why college is the best four years.

1. You make lifetime friendships.

They're a five minute walk from your dorm room , willing to do movie nights or eat breakfast before class , late night at the campus dining hall.

2. Discovery of your passions.

You find your passion through the variety of clubs , taking classes outside of your major, hobbies.

3. Professors become your mentors

Professors share their experiences during class and approachable.

4. Taking classes based on your interest and electives.

For example : taking sociology classes or political science you realize you want to do social work or be in public office. taking photography classes you discover your passion for photography.

5. You appreciate the free things in college

for example: free pizza, free t-shirts come in handy when you're on a budget in college.

6. taking pictures helps cherish the memories.

Pictures could consist of sunsets from an academic building, changing of the leaves in the fall, group picture at an event.

7. exploring the college town such as hiking trails , restaurants and shopping centers.

These places will have some college discount if you present your college id.

8. getting involved on campus widens your network and appreciation for the campus.

Getting involved on campus could being a Resident Assistant , executive board member for a club, Student Government, Fraternity or Sorority, tour guide

9. Hard work pays off. If its four or more years of college in the end getting your degree will be worth it. Everyone ends their education differently.

10. You'll be sad to leave college when you graduate.

College you shaped so much as a person and without your support system you wouldn't be where you are today.

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.
