When you go to college you're supposed to become an adult, right? Yes, but at what cost? Sure you should become more reasonable and responsible, but that shouldn't disclude the things that are considered "childish". Here is a list of some traditions you should NEVER give up while in college.

1. Trick-or-treating

With Halloween coming up, this one was bound to be on the list. Grab some some people and go out to whatever Halloween bash is going on! You're NEVER to old for free candy.

2. Themed cookies

Maybe this is just a me thing, but every year, on multiple holidays, Pillsbury comes out with their special holiday cookies. For some reason these cookies are THE BOMB! Make sure to grab a few close friends (because you're not going to share those amazing cookies with just anyone) and bake them in the nearest oven! And yes, it is normal to eat them all in one sitting.

3. Cinnamon rolls

Maybe I just really have a thing with food and holidays...okay I DO have a thing with food and holidays, but baking cinnamon rolls in the winter is a great way to get the whole family together. Even though you'll most likely be home for the winter holidays, get your #squad together before you all leave and spend time away from each other. You'll be #squadgoals #5ever! I had to add the puns... #SorryNotSorry

4. Random dance parties

This can be a GREAT stress reliever! It's fun when you get to be silly and forget about life for a few moments. You can either reunite #squad, or you can invite your least judgmental friend over so you two can dance all of midterms away.


5. Petting puppies

This one is pretty much something nobody would ever give up because DOGS! BECAUSE...DOGS! They're adorable, awesome, and fluffy. Just be careful though, with the fluff can sometimes come allergies. I wouldn't suggest inviting multiple people with you for the sole reason of DOGS! What I meant to say was, for the sole reason of being completely selfish and keeping all the fluffy puppies to yourself. Just don't dognap. Ever.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
