I've been back at college for about two weeks now. I have quickly come to realize that this year is different than others and there are a few items that I had no idea I would need.

Blue Light Glasses

Now that all of my classes are fully online, I pretty much never leave my room. I look at my computer screen and do assignments and reading for several hours of the day. Blue Light glasses may help me in the fight against eye damage. If I haven't permanently damaged them already...

Slippers

This year I am living in a sorority house. Since it is more of a home with my closest friends than a nasty, community-style dorm I am faced with the challenge of deciding what footwear I need in the house. I have decided that slippers would've been beneficial for me this year. I don't like walking around barefoot or in socks, but shoes are too much work to put on every time I need to come out of my room. If you want to send me slippers... I'm a size 8.5.

Wall Repair Putty

Me and my roommate have probably put more holes in our wall in just this week than I did my whole freshman year. If we don't get some wall repair putty soon, we might as well say goodbye to our security deposit.

Vitamins

This is self explanatory. I want to be more healthy, and protected against COVID.

Once I get all these things, I think I'll be ready to take on Sophomore year!

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.
