Are you ever sitting in your 2 o'clock class when you catch yourself daydreaming about when times were simpler? Here is a list of the things that college students all miss the most about elementary school.

1. Nap Time

What else even comes close to deserving the number one spot?

2. Class Parties

Valentine's Day was something to look forward to instead of loathing. Getting a Valentine's Day card from your crush meant the world to you, even though we all knew that he gave them to everyone. This was basically the equivalent of a subtweet on Twitter.

3. Your parents driving you everywhere

No matter how mad we made our parents, they still had to drive us to school every morning. They definitely made sure to get their payback on us for this one. If only I had a dollar for all of the random grocery store runs I had to make in high school for my parents.

4. Snack Time

It seemed like the teachers could get us to do anything if they offered us snacks as a reward.

5. Recess

Playing foursquare, dominating at kickball and swinging on the swing set were all part of our daily routine. Rainy days were the worst.

6. Movie Days

The best days were the days when the teacher decided to play a movie instead of teaching.

7.Getting out of class

Feeling like you were on an episode of the Magic School Bus was the best.

8. Passing Notes

Way before cellphones, writing notes was the only way to communicate during your long days 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.
