8 Ways to Enjoy Your Free Time

In college, free time is very rare. Whenever I get the chance to have some time to myself or just time to spend not doing school, sports, or work, I try and make the most of it!

1. Journaling

I recently have started becoming very into journaling. Whether it is just to let my emotions out or to tell a story. I have learned that writing out how and what I feel is the best way to let my mind free.

2. Daily Devotional

My church back home has started a new year long daily devotional that goes through the whole Bible. Yes, I mean the whole thing. I started off strong but getting back into the swing of school has faltered me a little bit. Having a plan though surely has been a motivator in this process.

3. Pinterest

Ahhh Pinterest. Home of DIY projects, coffee shop photos and a wardrobe that one can only dream of. I treat my Pinterest like my child. Tending to it everyday and making sure each board is neat, tidy and always stocked. #isthatweird?

4. C O F F E E

Coffee dates, Keurig coffee, drive thru coffee or the cute lattes with the foam shapes; it is ALL Greek to me. I cherish any cup I have and make sure to spend whatever I do in my spare time, with a cup in my hand.

5. Running Errands

In a small college town, the list of things to do is slimming. So sometimes a simple trip to Walmart or TJ Maxx with my pals is pleasure enough.

6. Siesta

I never thought I could nap until I came to college. Now, I have to force myself to STAY awake.

7. Goodwill

And boy is it good.

8. Netflix

The beloved place where 90% of college kids spend their time. Binge watching their favorite tv shows or watching 1 1/2 star independent films that wind up having German subtitles and get you sucked into a Netflix world you thought you would never reach.

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.
