For the first few weeks of college, my floor was bare. Just a plain white carpet was all my room had to offer. My parents came up for family weekend and my mom blessed me and my roommate with a wonderful, white, fuzzy beanbag.

After almost a semester and a half, I can safely say this beanbag chair has changed mine and my roommate's college experience for the better. A beanbag is the ultimate staple in a college dorm room and I will vouch for this up until my dying breath.

1. A beanbag is so versatile.

Since bean bags are simply bags of beans, they move to shape any body and any position. That means you can nap on them as well as sit and do homework.

2. They are perhaps the most comfortable things in this universe.

Beanbag. Must I say more?

3. Beanbags offer extra seating in the room.

My roommate and I struggled with having our friends over because our twin beds were not big enough for everyone and no one likes sitting on the floor. Once we got the beanbag however, our beds became fair game because you can bet that we are the two on the beanbag.

4. It will fit in any dorm room.

Our beanbag has moved into all of our friends' rooms from time to time. From the smallest to the biggest, the beanbag has adjusted to any size because like I said bag of beans.

As I wrote this article, I got a call from my roommate where she told me "You can't submit this. This is the stupidest thing I have ever read." And while this article may be stupid, it serves a great purpose. To high school seniors, college kids looking to expand their dorm room, and any homeowner: get a bean bag. It will change your life!

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.
