A Break-Up Letter To My Freshman Year Bed

The words you wish you could have said to the one who was always there for you through your first year of college

I think we should see other people. It's not you, it's me.

You probably didn't see this coming and I'm sorry for walking out on you so suddenly, but it is time for me to move on. We had some great times together, and you were always there for me through everything. The good, the bad, and the horribly ugly (sorry about those ones, by the way. My judgment was impaired.)

You were the best support system I could have ever asked for--a shoulder to cry on, and someone I felt totally comfortable with. I never felt like I had to wear makeup or a bra in front of you.

We had something special, and I didn't want it to have to end, but I think we moved too fast for our own good. It wasn't long before you had seen me naked and heard all of my stories, and then what's the point?

It was fun for awhile, but you had to know it we didn't have a future.

You were holding me back, and I have to focus on what is best for me right now. To be honest, I think we were spending way too much time together. My attachment to you was keeping me from my friends, my family, and my future--things I just cannot afford to lose.

I have moved on to bigger and better things. My next bed will be full-sized, and you, let's face it, are just a lumpy twin disguised by a mattress pad and a body pillow. I don't know if I loved you, or just the way you looked and the way you made me feel.

I'm not worried about you. I know you'll find someone new who will treat you better and will love you more than I ever could. I will always save a place for you in my heart and I hope we can still be friends.

I wish you all the best, and I hope the next person doesn't give you an ugly comforter or bed bugs.

With love,

New Sophomore

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.
