11 Reasons Why College Is Actually Amazing
SoonerSports

I have just finished my sophomore year in college, and I've learned many things just in those two years. Yes, college is stressful and yes, you'll really start to question if being a stripper is an option. But, through all the stress and tears and studying, there are some good things that come from college. So here are eleven reasons why life in college is actually pretty amazing.

1. You will never have this much freedom again.

Yes, it feels like you don't really have any freedom at all with studying and classes and jobs, but if you think about it, most of us aren't having to pay bills yet. Or buy insurance, or deal with a spouse or child. This is the most freedom you'll ever have.

2. You will never be this skinny again.

Your body is at its prime right now. Enjoy it while it lasts.

3. Your only responsibility is to get good grades.

And maybe maintain a job, but that is nothing compared to what real adult life will be like.

4. Your liver doesn't hate you for all that drinking...yet.

We all know that a huge part of college is drinking, so enjoy it now while your liver can still handle it.

5. No one judges you for looking like crap in class.

In college, you can pretty much wear whatever you want and no one cares at all, but in the real world, you might get fired for wearing your pajamas to work.

6. All the T-shirts.

You get a crap-ton of free shirts. Need I say more?

7. You live with your friends.

Now this definitely does have its down-sides, but for the most part getting to live with your friends is like a constant party! In between all the studying and mental breakdowns of course.

8. You meet people that will be in your life forever.

You meet your best friends, possibly your future partner, maybe even your children's future Godparents. You meet your people in college, and they stay with you for life.

9. Summer is great, but also sad.

Summer is a bittersweet thing, because it's a three month break from school, but that also means being separated from your friends for three months.

10. You actually look forward to coming back to campus.

After that summer, you will actually look forward to coming back to school because that is where all your friends are.

11. You will never get to experience this again.

College is a one-time thing. You can't go back and redo anything so make every second count. Make memories, make mistakes, but most importantly, live your life and have fun doing it.

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.
