When you're in college, you really should try and make the most out of it. Make mistakes and achieve long life goals that you've been planning. Everyone will think of different things to do before graduating from the university that they are attending. So, I've come up with a list of things that you might want to add to your "bucket list" before graduation. Some of these are just silly things that you wouldn't really think of, but I think they are still "bucket list" worthy.

1. Go to a concert.


Even if that concert sucks, go to one anyway.

2. Get a henna tattoo.

They aren't permanent and they are really cute.

3. Get a real tattoo, even if it's tiny.

I hate needles but some of my friends have told me it's not exactly the same as a shot. So, maybe I'll think about it? Stay tuned.

4. Go on a road trip with your friends.

Your road trip doesn't have to be across the country but get in your car and drive somewhere different.

5. Have a photoshoot with friends.

Go out and make some more memories with your friends by acting all professional and having a great time!

6. Go to a midnight move premiere.

Stay up all night and go to a midnight movie premiere, you won't regret it. Unless you have an exam the next day at 8 am/ Then you might regret it.

7. Leave a note in a library book.

Write a compliment on a sticky note and stick it into a library book. You might make someone's day brighter by a tiny act of kindness.

8. Donate blood.

I'm not a huge fan of needles, but I donated blood my freshman year of college. You could be saving someone's life, it's definitely worth it.

9. Skip a class: skipping one class won't hurt you.

I've done it before, and you will, too. It doesn't make you a bad person. Sometimes you just need a break. Make sure you can get the notes though!

10. Go on a picnic.

I would do this with my high school friends a lot. It's a nice break from restaurants and busy places.

11. Go to the university gym.

The freshman 15 is real if you order out too much and eat the horrible school food. Go to the gym because you will feel much better.

12. Make a memory jar: starting each school year.

I've never tried this before, but I'm going to for this upcoming school year. It's a cute and simple idea.

13. Go out of your comfort zone in some way.

I personally have a hard time with this, but I'm trying to learn that it will all turn out well in the long run. Do something that scares you, don't have any regrets. Try everything once.

14. Graduate.

Last but not least, graduate, and be proud of all of your accomplishments throughout your years!

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.
