11 Things You're Going to Miss About College
US News

College is like nothing else. Your campus is basically like a little town designed just for students attending that college, and in that town is everything that you may possibly need. Friends, food, parties, anything imaginable is only a close walk away. Once we leave that little town, whether it be for graduation and going out into the real world, or for a break, we really begin to realize how much it means to us and how life without having everything at our fingertips is really scary.

1. Not being able to see your friends everyday, and whenever you want.

Gone are the days are walking across the hall to hang out with your friends.

2. Having an excuse to not get a job.

"Sorry, mom and dad, classes are just too time demanding for a job " no longer works as a valid excuse when school isn't in session.

3. Going out whenever you feel like it.

So what if it's a Monday? There's half off drinks at the bar.

4. Your freedom.

Back to asking the parents for their permission to do things.

5. The campus organizations that you're involved in.

Greek life, athletics, no matter what it is, it's a part of you and you'll miss it when you leave.

6. Your roommate.


Weirdly enough, it gets lonely not having someone sleeping 10 feet away from you.

7. Not having to pay for food.

Never knew how much I take my meal plan for granted.

8. Not being able to walk everywhere.

Since when has gas been this expensive?

9. Late-night fast food runs.

Getting hungry and grabbing your friends for a 2 a.m. McDonald's run may or may not be so easy now.

10. Constantly having something to do.


It's never a dull moment when you're at college, but when you're home, there are way too many dull moments to even count.

11. The general atmosphere.


College life is like no other, and it's something that you really do miss once you leave.

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.
