8 Things You'll Miss When Going Back To School

8 Things You'll Miss When Going Back To School

School. You love it. It's awesome. Most college students are dying to go back in August, but there are definitely some things you'll miss; and now that you think about it, you already miss them.

1. Your siblings

Yeah, it may have been hard sharing a bathroom with them when you got back after having been away for so long, but you know that they always had your back—and were the only ones willing to hear all your crazy college stories.

2. Home-cooked meals

Dorm food is okay and eating out is fun, but nothing compares to a meal cooked in your kitchen by someone you love.

3. Your bed

If you brought your bed to college, you are a lucky soul. For the rest of us, we will never get a truly good night's sleep until we are back in the bed we grew up in.

4. Your high school friends

Whether or not you grew apart from most of your friends in high school, you undoubtedly have at least one person you can only really see when you're at home. And you will miss them a lot. And seeing their Instagram pictures will make you sad and miss them even more.

5. Down time

At school, the schedule is basically "go go go" all the time. Being home allows for a little more downtime and space to move around and relax.

6. Animals

During the school year, seeing a dog on campus is just another reminder that your pet is at home, without you, probably really sad all the time (right?). It's heartbreaking.

7. Your favorite restaurants

Unless your house is 10 minutes away from your college, you probably won't be going to all the restaurants you usually do when you're at home. This can be hard, but it makes that restaurant even better when you come home and go.

8. Your parents

This is an obvious one, but most of all, you'll miss your parents. Your parents were always there to hear you complain about being bored while your friends were out doing fun things or deal with you being lazy around the house. Even if college allows for more freedom, you'll probably miss hearing their voices every day and the advice/direction they gave you.

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.
