11 Things I'm Going To Miss About My Childhood

Although I'm very excited about what is coming in my life, I will definitely miss what I am leaving behind

11 Things I'm Going To Miss About My Childhood
Riley Swart

With my sister going to college this year, I am beginning to see the end of my childhood. My childhood was filled with theater camp, friends, games outside, vacations, parties with other families and endless fun. Although, I can't wait for the adventures ahead of me, it's very sad to leave this part of my life behind.

1. Wearing Disney princess costumes

Lets be real, they need to make adult princess dresses. I would totally be down for that.

2. Playing games in the summers outside

Ghost in the graveyard, kick the can, mafia, frogger, the list goes on and on.

3. Having a big family Christmas, where everyone can be there

I remember sleeping by the tree with my sister to try and see Santa every Christmas.

4. Getting to wear super cute night gowns

Not only did I have princess dresses, but also princess night gowns.

5. Playing in the snow in the winter

Taking off the multitude of layers that all started dry but were inevitable soaked by snow was definitely the best part. (And a big cup of hot chocolate)

6. Having no worries in the summer

The summer was the best. My mom never worked so the days were filled with pools, friends and ice cream.

7. Going on vacations with your family and other families

Let's take a moment of silence for all of the hours of sleep not gained on these trips.

8. Not caring about what you looked like in pictures

Yes that is me in the middle. Cringe worthy, right?

9. Getting food all over your face and people think its cute

I still get food all over my face. It's just not cute anymore.

10. Having your grandparents think you're the bomb

My grandparents still love me. It's just now not everything I do is cute.

11. Going on playgrounds and not being to big

I can no longer hang off a monkey bar, but I can however hit my head while walking underneath them.

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.
