Playing With Barbies Beats Paying Bills. Can I be 6, Again?

When you think back to kindergarten, you remember hating nap time, loving recess and thinking that all boys have cooties. Now you're in college... Internships and paying bills are on your mind as well as becoming a responsible adult. Amidst of all the grown up work, you are just wishing that you could go back to the time when the biggest struggle was getting a grass stain on your new Children's Place jeans.

Can you believe you hated nap time? I mean HATED nap time. Your dislike for napping was like being a Colts fan looking at the Patriots. You wanted to go and play with your bff's on the pimped out playground your school just got. Think to now. Many college students say that napping HAS to be a part of their day or else they are out of their minds. Busy day? Doesn't matter. A quick 15 minute nap is going to squeeze it's way into your day, even if it means stuffing a Boar's Head sub in your mouth in under five minutes.

To have fun now, you have to spend an hour or so to get all dolled up and go out with your girlfriends to let out some of your steam. Why couldn't it be as easy as walking outside of your class to climb on the monkey bars or play tag to prove you're the best on the grounds? The simpler times were so amazing and we didn't even know it.

Boys having cooties made life also very simple... I think you can understand why. Less drama, more happiness. The gentleman on our campus can cause some major strife in some girls lives. So, I’m just going to leave it at that.

With summer coming up, many are thinking about the summer internships they wish to receive to further their career. It’s all about thinking about our future now than trying to get the best tan possible. So while there may be some perks of growing up, I think I speak for many when college students wish they could go back to being little kindergartners wondering about life. Because let’s face it…

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.
