7 Things I Wanted To Come Back To

My Home Away From Home.

7 Things I Wanted To Come Back To
Ashley Rose Elgin

There are several things that only happen when you are at college. When you live on campus, as I do, your school becomes your home away from home. Your dorm mates like your family. You do absolutely everything together and when you leave to go home for a long time, like the holidays, it can be hard. But you always look forward to coming back. Some things make you want to come back more than others do. A class you have to take might not make you want to begin the year again, but seeing your best friend would definitely make your return more enjoyable. Here are seven things that make my return to Brenau wonderful!

1. My Friends

Friends are always great to come back to and I always look forward to returning to school in January so I can be with my friends again.

2. The Showers

I know it seems strange but the showers at Brenau have better water pressure than my one at home and at Brenau you never run out of hot water!

3. Temperature Control

Every room in my building has an A/C Heater Unit in it so you can make your room whatever temperature you want it to be. I prefer mine cold enough for penguins to hibernate. Lol.

4. Food

I look forward to coming back to Brenau so I don’t have to cook for myself. I know, that is so incredibly childish of myself but it’s true. I’ve been spoiled by the convenience and when I go home it’s weird because I actually have to cook my own food.

5. Social Events-

Brenau loves to through a party. We are always up to something fun and fantastic and I love it!

6. My Team

I definitely miss my teammates when I leave in December and I look forward to returning in January so we can get back to what we do best! Training and running every day is what I love and with my teammates it’s even better!

7. Making My Own Decisions

At home I can make my own decisions but it’s just a bit different when you are living on your own. You choose when you wake up and when you go to bed. When you shower, brush your teeth, what you eat and when and where you go. It makes you feel just a little bit like a good adult even though most of the time we feel like we are epic fails at adult life or we are so stressed out about everything that we don't want to adult anymore.

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.
