11 Things I'll Miss About College

As fall semester of my senior year is coming to an end, I can't help but think about all of the things I will miss when I graduate in May. I look at the freshmen in envy because I know they have three glorious years left, and the whole crying about 'lasts' has been going on this entire semester. Here are the 11 things that I will miss most about my college years.

1. Living in close proximity with all of my friends

Real world: Living in different states...can you Skype??

2. Naps, naps & more naps!

Real world: Work, work, & more work!

3. Skipping a class just because

Real world: Am I allowed to skip work?

 

4. Not giving a f**k and scrubbing it up to class

Real world: Actually having to look nice for work.


5. My body being able to hold an excessive amount of alcohol

Real world: One drink. OK, I'm drunk.


6. Making my own schedule

Real world: No longer just doing whatever.


7. Three-month summer vacations

Real world: No vacation days until like 59543784923840329 days of working.


8. The bomb drink deals

Real world: That'll be $15 for a Rum 'n' Coke.


9. Dining center life

Real world: I can cook, I would just rather someone do it for me.

10. Not worrying about student debt

Real world: But actually, only six months after graduation, you have to start paying.

11. Only thinking about the real world

Real world: It's actually happening.


Although I will miss all of these things, I know I am not in it alone because we are all facing 'Senior Denial Syndrome.' Well seniors, cheers to you, and let's live it up these next five months.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
