15 Things That Happen When You Come Home From College

Packing up all your things in your college dorm and heading home is both an exciting and scary thought. Where are you going to put all your clothes? How can I manage to hang out with my home friends nonstop for the next three and a half months? Schmidt understands just how you're feeling.

1. Your friends and family are asking how your exams went.

2. Then you find out that you got an A on your first exam.

3. The first meal you want being home consists of all your hometown's classics.


4. Your room looks like a bomb went off in it because you haven't even tried unpacking.

5. You're just too excited that the whole summer with your friends has already been planned.

6. You find out you're going to the beach and are ready to show off that summer bod.

7. You're not used to your siblings stealing your clothes anymore.

8. And you're constantly running into people still in high school.

9. Then it sets in, and you start to miss your roommate.

10. And you forgot what it was like to have rules and how strict your mom still is.


11. So, your Friday nights turn lame.

12. Most importantly, you're frustrated that your town is still not lit.

13. But then you find out that your friend's parents are going out of town and he's throwing down.

14. Your summer couldn't have gone any better.

15. Before you know it, it's time to go back to school and you have to say goodbye to everyone all over again.

The progression of a college student's summer ranges from Netflix marathons alone on a Friday night to having great times with friends just like you did in high school. Those three and a half months go by fast, so don't waste any time.

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.
