The Best Things About Going Back To School

As the summer comes to an end, the school season is coming back around. Some may not want to be reminded of the school papers, exams, and leaving your home. But as for me, there's nothing I'm more excited for. Don't forget about the late nights cramming for test with your best friends, always being a few doors away from your friends. There are so many fun and awesome things about going to school after a summer back at home.

1. Dorm shopping!

Try and tell me shopping to decorate your room isn't fun. You and your roommate planning how to have your room look, putting all of your favorite things in your brand new room. This room is a blank canvas and you get to decorate it with whatever you want.

2. Syllabus week!

You don't need to worry about getting thrown to the wolves when school comes back around. Yes you might have to wake up for your classes, but it's mostly just to go over what books you need to get and what you should be looking forward to throughout the semester. First week will be easy and you'll be able to relax while getting used to being back at school.

3. Seeing all your friends again!

In college you meet friends from all over the country, maybe even from other countries and you haven't seen any of them all summer. Going back to school means you get to see all of your friends again for the first time and spend the semester together making new memories. Yeah you've texted and snapchatted them all summer but now you can just walk down the hall to bother them.

4. Back to the party!

Back to school means back to the parties you've never experienced at home! Everyone at school is so excited to be back and everyone is getting settled in their new living areas which means they need to break it in with a party. The new house parties, bar runs, and groups that are made might define your year.

5. Getting to show off your new style!

Whether it is showing off your new hair style, tan, or maybe even tattoo/piercing you got over the summer when you go back to school you get to show it off to a bunch of people that haven't seen it yet. Or should I say compliment it yet.

6. Checking out the freshman!

With a new year, there's new students to check out. A whole new class is here to be your potential hook up or relationship, friend, class clown or something funny to watch from the side.

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.
