9 Great Things About A Long Distance Relationship
  • You learn to cherish your time together
    Since seeing each other is rare, you always look forward to it with butterflies in your stomach.Plus you learn to make every second count since you're not always there.
  • There’s excitement to the anticipation of seeing your significant other
    Countdowns, hearts around dates, and excitement are constant and become part of your every day life. Looking at the clock slowly tick on the days you're suppose to see your significant other can be a drag, but good thing there is shared locations now!
  • Less effort getting ready in the morning
    Depending on where you are, or how long you’ve been dating someone, there’s a certain pressure to look presentable. It’s a good thing you can off days when your boyfriends not around.
  • Being able to bond with other people
    Making new friends and long lasting relationships is the best part of college, so don’t let being in a relationship change that! You can have time for friends and your significant other separately.
  • Communication builds stronger
    It may not seem like it, but its hard work constantly putting effort into texts and conversations, but they help strengthen the relationship anyways.
  • You take advantage of FaceTime and every free second.
    Thank god for FaceTime, which helps make sure you never forget the small details of your partners face and goofy personality. Plus, even a few minuted between classes turns into a phone call just to hear their voice.
  • “Me” time
    This is important for everyone to make sure they get their own time for themselves, so there’s a benefit of never always being with someone. You do not want to get sick of over spending time with someone.
  • More time to focus on school work
    May seem odd, but it’s true! Without the distraction of someone constantly touching you, you have more time to study and get work done without wondering about the other person thinking you’re being distant.
  • When you do see them, it’s the best feeling ever.
    Finally being able to wrap your partner up in your arms and cuddle all night after not seeing them for a few weeks is defiantly the best part of a long distance relationship.
  • In the end, it will be for the better.
    The best way to figh through the long drags of not seeing each other is reminding yourself that youre doing it to better the future for the both of you.

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.
