12 Things That Change When You Come Home From School

College is absolutely amazing. You have the freedom to do just about whatever you want, whenever you want! You get to manage your time and make your own decisions. One slight problem though, coming home for the summer. Here is a short list of things that definitely change when you come back from school.

1. You cant go out super late anymore. 3 a.m. adventures don't go over too well with your parents.

2. Your nights now end at 11 p.m. instead of starting at 11 p.m.

3. You have to constantly ask permission to do things.

4. Your schedule is now organized by your parents and by work.

5. You have to actually make plans, instead of just dropping by your friends room.

6. Your friends aren't constantly around to talk too.

7. You actually have to text your friends from school instead of just waiting to see them later in the day.

8. You don't have to do your own dishes and laundry anymore.

This can be a huge perk especially for those like me, who think doing laundry is actually a form of torture.

9. You're probably still on a college sleep schedule.

If you are anything like me, you're probably having trouble getting to bed before two.

10. Small things you use to do at school, like trips to go get slurpees, aren't as fun anymore.

You'll probably find yourself saying "well now what are we gonna do?"

11. You have your biggest support team around you now 24/7.

Coming home means you have people who want the best for you by your side whenever they need you.

12. You're not so home sick anymore.

Whether you want to admit it or not coming home for the summer has it's downsides, but overall it's a giant perk. I can't wait to spend the summer with the people I love the most.

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.

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.
