5 Times You'll Miss Your College Friends This Summer

5 Times You'll Miss Your College Friends This Summer
Jamie Warren

In the midst of the chaos of finals week, the only goal in my mind was to make summer come as soon as possible. My mind was filled with daydreams of warm weather, beach days and especially no homework. Although my love for summer is undeniable, there is one thing summer is missing, and that is the amazing people I call my best friends.

I like to say college gave me a taste of independence, but when I think about it, we all rely on each other more than a child does to a mother. Who will pick out my outfits for me this summer? Seriously, my mom stopped picking out my outfit years ago just for my college friends to step in and pick out my entire outfits from head to toe. I truly don't know what I will do without all of you this summer, and there will be many times I know I will miss you a little extra than usual.

1. When it's 1 a.m. and you're craving pizza.

So... you're telling me it's not longer acceptable to order pizza this late at night? Can I just order a small to myself? Is that weird? Maybe I can wake up my parents; they might want some Dominos, too. Then again, they haven't had dining hall food for months. They wouldn't know how to appreciate a less-than-mediocre pizza.

2. When you have to make decisions on your own.

I know you're all just a text or phone call away, but it's not the same. It was so much easier when you could raid my closet and throw something at me to wear when I couldn't decide. How will I make the game-time decision on what I should eat for dinner without you guys by my side? You also always made my decisions on whether or not to go out at night, and the answer was always "go out," of course. The best part is that you were also the same ones making the decision for me to get out of bed the next morning to complete the work I didn't finish from the night before. You always helped me make the best decisions, for the most part.

3. When you're waking up.

I no longer can wake up every day to your no-so-bright hungover faces and I hate it. It was so easy when I could barge into your room, if you weren't already sleeping on my floor, to recap our entire night of events. There is nothing like knowing we can walk right to each others' room whenever needing anything at all.

4. When you're sick.

Yes, whatever type of sickness this may be. From a simple cold to a hangover, I could always count on you guys to go the extra mile. From holding each other's hair back to a nice Dunkin coffee in the morning. Seriously, I run on you guys when I'm sick.

5. When you're composing an important text.

Again, with the independence thing. We all seemed to have forgotten how to communicate without the help of five girls telling each other what to say. Honestly, I'm not sure how many ways you could possibly reply to a text "hey" from a guy, but somehow we make it a bid deal -- and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I may not be a few rooms down from you, but I will always be here for you even when we are a part this summer. There is no one I'd rather have hit the send button on my phone, hold my hair back, or pick out my outfit than you guys. You have taken the roles of a mother, friend and sister for me at college, and you are the best at being all of them. Here is to a great summer, and for some more unforgettable, sometimes forgettable, nights next time we're back at school.

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.
