Don't take summertime for granted!

11 Things You Will Miss When You Go To College

As we prepare to head back to college in the next few weeks, it is important to savor the last days of summer. Soon, the stresses of school will become too much to handle, and we will wish for the lazy days of summer.

Here is a list of the simple luxuries you will miss while away at school

1. Home-cooked meals.

Nothing compares to your favorite meal prepared by someone you love. Cafeteria food gets old quick, so be sure to eat as much as you can at home.

2. The comfort of your own bed.

There is nothing like your bed at home. Its extra comforting to be in something that you can call your own for more than a couple of semesters.

3. Friends from home.

Your friends from home are the best because you've been through so much together. They've known you forever and can always make you laugh.

4. The income from your summer job.

If you're not working during school, its probable that you will miss the steady income from your summer job as you become a poor college student once again.

5. Free time.

With school comes lots of responsibilities, which means less time spent on Netflix and more time studying.

6. Your car.

If you're not lucky enough to have your car on campus, getting around feels nearly impossible. The shuttles are never on time!

7. Your parents.

Although they can get on your nerves, your parents are there to love and support you, and after a while you will miss them. Make sure to call them every once and a while!

8. Things your parents do for you.

Your parents probably do a lot for you, and you don't realize it until you live on your own. The laundry piles get higher, and the bank accounts get lower. You're going to miss the chores they do and having someone there to loan you $5.

9. Siblings.

Siblings can be more annoying than parents at times, but they're like your built-in partner in crime and you will miss them tons!

10. Pets

This is self-explanatory because pets can do no wrong.

11. Your Privacy

You'll never understand how great it is to live in a space of your own with no one around until you live with roommates. As much as you love them, you'll be craving privacy at some point.

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.
