Don't even get me started on how much I'll miss my friends.

I can't believe I'm about to say goodbye to my second home one last time. This isn't like summer vacation where I say goodbye to my apartment and friends for a few months. This is it. I'm so lucky that I've been able to call such a unique place like Athens my home away from home for the past four years. There is no other town like Athens, and obviously no other campus like Ohio University.

My days in Athens are limited, so I can't help but get a little bit nostalgic and think about what I'm going to miss most here.

1. The cheapest alcohol in the history of ever.

2. Crystal popcorn paired with a strawberry daiquiri yardstick.

3. Sitting front row at Black Sheep Improv shows every week.

4. People-watching in Baker.

5. Skipping class on a nice day to lay out at Strouds.

6. Everything about Fun Barn.

7. Sunday Funday's at Courtside.

8. Listening to an absurd amount of Creed at the bars.

9. Bachelor Monday's with my roommates.

10. Hiking in The Ridges.

11. Hearing the most epic stories from my really idiotic friends.

12. Curing my hangovers with Bagel Street Deli.

13. Shively mac 'n cheese.

14. Having 14 bars within walking distance of my apartment.

15. Finding any excuse to drink on a weekday.

16. Living with my homies.

The list could truly go on because if I haven't made myself clear, Athens is the most amazing college town on the face of the planet. I'll miss you, Athens. I'm already counting down the days until Homecoming.

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.
