5 Items Every Freshmen Needs

In This Article:

As we put the cap (literally) on the end of the 2020 school year, many will start a new chapter at college in the fall. The following list includes items I couldn't have lived without my freshman year.

Brita Filter

This will save your life. Brita makes it so easy to refill water bottles, and have fresh water. There is no plastic waste. There is only one downside- you might fight with your roommate over whose turn it is to fill 'er up!

Mattress Topper

For the best away from home sleep of your life- invest in a good mattress topper.

Cheap Clothes

If you plan on going out, buy cheap clothes to do so! You'll be much less disappointed when your $8 fast fashion bodysuit is ruined, as opposed to an expensive one. The same goes for shoes. Invest in one pair that are easy to clean and that you can wipe down when you get back home. Name them your "going out shoes".

If your campus is anything like mine, you're going to need some good rain gear. There is nothing worse than getting drenched on the way to class.

Portable Charger

Because there is nothing worse than a dead phone.

College life will be so easy with these items!

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.
