17 Things I WON'T Miss About High School
Ally Mishell Smith

To some people, your 4 years of high school are the best 4 years of your life. However, for most people, high school is just the beginning of their life, and definitely not the best 4 years. While there are many things I will miss about high school, such as some teachers, show choir, my friends and Freda, the best janitor in the history of janitors, there are many things I will not miss.

1. The school lunches

While I'll miss 'Chicken Finger Wednesday' and 'cheese stick day,' I definitely won't miss the wheat bread and spaghetti day.

2. The early mornings

Math at 9:00 o'clock in the morning is much better than anything at 7:30.

3. The freshman

This speaks for itself.

4. The one couple taking up the whole hallway because they HAVE to hold hands

When you have 120 seconds to get to class and a couple is taking up both sides of the hallways because they have to hold hands, I make no apologies for knocking them over.

5. The teacher that won't let you do work for another class, even though you have nothing to do for their class

6. The wifi

Because who loves wifi that has Snapchat blocked?

7. Class meetings

Even though we know we all won't agree on the same thing, certain people will fight the ear death until they get their way.

8. Waiting in line for the microwave

Don't be that girl that cooks something for 10 minutes.

9. The vending machines only having healthy foods and drinks.

Thanks, Michelle Obama.

10. The vending machines being locked until 8:30 and then again at 11.

Running late and forget breakfast? Sorry, no whole grain pop tarts for you.

11. The vending machines taking your money.

Hope you brought more than $1.

12. Spending 4 years trying to find a quiet place to go during a break, then people finding your quiet place.

You finally find your quiet place away from everyone, then 1 person finds it and it's no longer a quiet place. It's a very sad day.

13. School Bathrooms

Always go to the tower. no matter what you do.

14. The parking

Don't be late or you will lose your unofficial parking spot.

15. Weather Drills

Butt cracks. Enough said.

16. The drama

Because there is nothing worse than a high school girl. Maybe a middle school girl, but that's it.

17. The gum infested desks

Never, ever, ever cross your legs. Ever.

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.
