Binghamton is always cold and always dark and dreary. In fact, Binghamton logged more rainy days than Seattle did last year.

Fortunately, there are those days that are 70 degrees and sunny and everyone is sure to make use of them as well as they can.

On days like these, there’s some things that you’re bound to see.

1: HAMMOCKS!

I don’t know where the hammocks disappear to when it’s cold, but once it gets warm, they appear all over campus. Good luck finding one to use though. They’re probably taken, kind of luck a Jazzman’s booth.

2: Selfies and photoshoots

It’s very important to document the warm weather while it’s here because it won’t last long. #Springhamton

3: People are actually happy.

My friend came to visit in January and said to me: “why is everyone miserable and sad”. I told her, look at the sky. Once the sky turns blue, frowns turn upside down and happiness is upon us.

4: Summer dresses and Shorts

Is it dress weather? Probably not. It’s probably windy and not 90 degrees, but hey we take what we can get.

5: The fields are in use

Every residential community has a grassy area that usually serves as a reminder of the summer days that never come. However, when those days do arise you’re bound to see a baseball catch going on.

It was a beautiful weekend, Binghamton. Can’t wait to bundle up in the snow again. C’mon we can’t be blessed for too long!

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.
