5 Reasons I Miss Being At Clarion

I miss it a lot more than I thought.

5 Reasons I Miss Being At Clarion
Passage: College Days

This is how college feels once it ends for the summer



BUT THEN YOU SUDDENLY START TO MISS IT...


Yes. Yes you do..... Here's why

1. When you hit everyone up on social media, even the person who borrowed a pencil from you

Everyone misses each other. From the random stranger at Starbucks to the person who talks about their sorority parties, to even the kid you have every class with. College is one big union of clustered students who are just trying to survive. So we all band together. Once we no longer have those awkward moments and "I have you on snapchat," it becomes normal to strike up a random conversation about someone's summer, even though you can't remember their first name

2. Feeling overdue...

It's been 1 month and I already feel like I am late on 15 homeworks, 2 group projects and a review on some book. Yet, college is done with until August...However being busy with an education that is a major privilege, isn't so shabby.

3. Sleeping and Eating on a normal schedule

I never thought I'd hear that sentence for the next 4-6 years of my life. Not to mention that the food is home cooked meals, and not Ramen Noodles. Waking up without an alarm and knowing I can watch Netflix all day or read a book is amazing because relaxation exist. Yet, sometimes when you're busy living an "on the edge life," it is nice to have those memories, except being bored.

4. Making even more money

Every college student who is working throughout the summer understands. For once, our banks aren't crying, because a $200 access code wasn't needed, or a $500 textbook for a class that isn't relevant to your major. Wait, hold up. That's all going to the education and teacher's salaries.

5. Not having roommates/sharing the same floor

You can sleep all day and not stress about doing the laundry, dishes and cleaning the entire room because you have no roommates to clean up after or a wait list to do the laundry. Gone are the days of trying to sleep but at 2 a.m. a bunch of high, drunk, or both students are stumbling through the hallway. Silence has never sounded so beautiful. Yet, being surrounded by people makes connections, so it's okay because sometimes you need friends.

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.
