I get it, studying in a different state can be scary, new, exciting, amazing, and exhilarating, but that's all a part of spreading your wings and letting yourself fly like an eagle. So if you're given the opportunity to study in a different state, you should go for it and here's why.

1. It allows you to discover yourself

Growing up and becoming an adult is something that's new for everyone. But going away to stand on your own two feet and discovering who you really are can be good for you. Going away allows you to do so.

2. You'll make new friends

Going away to another state especially as an introvert like myself, forces you to make new friends and open yourself up to possibilities. The new bonds your making out of your comfort zone could be long lasting ones.

3. It's a change of scenery

Being away from that small town life could be the change of pace you might need. It gets tiring looking at the same people, going to the same places over and over your whole life. It will feel amazing changing the scenery.

4. There are better career prospects

If you have a career choice that you know your small town does not offer much of it is maybe a good idea to study out of state. Perferably a area where you know your job prospects would be plentiful. That way when it is time to do an internship you will have more options within your college campus.

5. And there are new cultural experiences

Every state is different and have different cultures and different norms. Studying out of state opens you up to a whole new world of cultures and experiences you were not accustomed too.

6. There is lower tuition cost in some states

This one should be a great reason, The Universities in Florida are actually more expensive than in Tennessee so I actually get a good rate.

7. You won't see the people you went to high school with 

This reason was extremely important to me when it came time to go to college. I wanted a fresh University with fresh new faces and new people altogether. I heard horror stories about people going to college near home and seeing everyone they went to college with around the campus. It was just like high school all over again.

Give going to a new state for college a try. Yes, it can be scary and challenging, and new. But it is exciting, and causes you to stand on your own two feet and allows you to get to know yourself without. So give it a shot.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
