Throughout school, I had gone to public school for years and decided on my own I wanted to be homeschooled. There are so many things I like about doing online school although a lot of people have negative things about it there are so many positive things about it. And no we are not socially awkward.

1. You get to chose your education level

Coming from a small town there weren't any private schools that offered a high education level, the school I first attended didn't quite offer the education I wanted. When homeschooled and choosing the school you get to choose the level of education that you want. You can delve into your favorite topics and pick the electives of your interest.

2. It teaches you a lot of responsibility

When doing online school you have to have the self-motivation to do your work and get it in, in a home environment there is things around your house you would rather do but you have to be responsible and get your school work done first.

3. You get to do your work in any environment

In public school, you are trapped in one building and in small rooms all day for hours at a time. When homeschooled you can go outside and enjoy the nice weather or take your school with you anywhere you are going. School work is more enjoyable in a nice environment.

4. You don't have to worry about missing when you have doctors appointments or other things

When going to public school you always have to work the days you missed for exams and catching up. Being homeschooled you are always excused and can do all your work anytime, day or night as long as you get it done.

5. You can dress any way you want

There is no dress code! If you want to be comfy and stay in your pajamas all day that's totally acceptable. If you want to show your whole shoulder that's even acceptable!

6. You can sleep in

I love my sleep and the feeling of being so refreshed after sleeping in. I can think better when I don't have to wake up at 5 am every morning.

7. You can work at your own pace

You can take your time and make it the normal four years or if you are like me focus and work very hard and get done years early.

8. Alone time

I love myself time, having hours alone is awesome.

9. You learn for the sake of learning

When you aren't limited to bathroom breaks or forced to learn but have to learn on your own not just because you are forced you never dread it. You love learning.

10. No Labels

As long as you love yourself you are never judged. Just surrounded with love and no judgments, free to be yourself and not feel pressured.

11. You are more prepared for college

Getting assignments and having to do them on your own without teachers constantly giving you more time to turn stuff in it makes it easier for college when you are on your own. It has more of a college feel than public school.

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.
