5 Ways You You Can Enjoy Your Birthday On Campus

Here are a few ways you can have fun at your home away from home.

5 Ways You You Can Enjoy Your Birthday On Campus

Don't you just get so excited when you can go home for your birthday? Well there are those weekends you can't go home for because of a campus event or you get caught in a snowstorm (gotta love Winter right)? Or you may even have class on that exact day. There are other ways you can enjoy your birthday without going home.

1. Sleep The Whole Day.

You've probably had the longest week possible if your birthday landed on a weekend. If you don't want people to know it's that day or you just need a break from everything going on in your life. The best solution is sleep, don't let the phrase "sleep is for the dead" effect your decision.

2. Events Are Happening?

Whether your birthday lands on a weekend or on a day you have class, something must be always happen. These are moments you have to walk around and use your eyes. Look out for events of your interest and see if you're able to go to those.

3.Get Off Campus

If staying on campus isn't good enough for you, I'm sure spending some money you got from your family for a taxi wouldn't hurt you. Even asking someone to take you somewhere you need to go will be enough. You are probably one of those people who can't stay in one area for too long so this option may end up being one of your best.

4.Find Something to Watch

When in doubt, use the free cable you got in sit in your desk or bed. Find something on TV that amuses you or again, the option of leaving campus to see a movie playing in theaters. It's the perfect to either be social, or stay in your room all day.

5. You Have Friends.

If all of your friends are here on the same weekend as your birthday be sure to plan something with them. Heck, they may even plan something for you in advance and you would have no idea. Surprises can be the best kind of birthday present to expect. Even if you just want to stay in you have the option of knocking in their dorm room door and bug their lives. They care about you and all they would want is for you to have a Happy Birthday!

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.
