5 Reasons Why You Just Want To Head Back To School

Summer can be great. You get to see your family, high school friends are around, and the weather is warm. This fun lasts for a little until you realize there isn't that much to do or keep busy with. Your thoughts begin to travel to times at college and all the memories. It gets to the point where your family and friends are probably sick of hearing about your college friends. It's official -- you just want to be back at school. Here's why.

1. Never bored.

Whether you are cramming at the lib, going to a friend's dorm, going to Taco Bell, attending meetings on Sunday for your sorority, going to a football game, or just binge watching Netflix with the roomies you always have something going on. There are constantly events on campus happening, as well, so you never have to worry about running out of ideas.








2. Constantly surrounded by friends.

During the summer, all your friends are spread out, and FaceTime doesn't cut it at all. Up at school, you can text them and they will be there in minutes. Three months without your friends is just too much. They are the ones who ate with you, laughed with you, cried with you and took care of you at your worst; but in the end they made you your best.


3. Freedom.

Let's face it, the freedom is great. I love living with my parents, but they don't exactly let me eat pizza several nights in a row. Up at college, lying in bed all day watching rom coms is okay, staying up all night is acceptable, spontaneous road trips are necessary, and making popcorn at midnight is normal.

4. Having a routine.

Class, eat, homework, sleep, repeat. What do you do with all the spare time in the day during the summer?!

5. Food.

Don't worry, I'm not talking about the college cafeteria food. I'm talking the wonderful options of fast food that are available until 3 a.m., or the markets on campus that sell endless ramen and other types of junk food. When you're back at your home town you can't go to restaurants that late. Sometimes, you just really need a full meal in the middle of the night.

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.
