What To Do With All Of That College Free Time
The Odyssey Online

College. It is a wonderful time full of all kinds of new experiences. One new thing that will drastically change from high school is your classes. You may have three classes that are one hour long or one class that is three hours long. The crazy thing about this is that you may only have one class a day or you may have five depending on how you set up your schedule.

All of this being said, you are going to have a ton of free time and now you have to ask yourself, "What am I going to do with all of my free time?" Well, here is a list of possible ideas.

1. Nap

A good nap is always a good time filler. Also college is kind of like when you were little, if you didn't get a nap you might get a little grouchy.

2. Go to work or get a job

Got to start working on paying off those student loans... or all of those late night ventures to Wal-mart.

3. Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to open yourself to new experiences and also it looks great on a resume.

4. Go to a movie

Many town or cities that have colleges also have movie theaters who have good deals for students.

5. Start a series on Netflix

There are all kinds of things to watch on Netflix for almost anyone to watch.

6. Start four more series on Netflix

Why stop at one, keep on chugging and get comfy because there are so many things to watch.

7. Go out with friends

This is something that can be as little as going over to someones dorm/apartment to going to the club and turning up!!!!!

8. Join a campus group or organization

There is literally a campus organization for anything that you could probably ever want. Fan of board games? There is a group for that. Big in politics? Join a Democratic or Republican organization. Underwater basket weaving? Well I do not think there is a group for that, but you could totally start one if you wanted to.

9. Exercise

Terrified of gaining that dreaded Freshman 15? I am guessing that your school has a gym and you do not have to pay for it. So go hit the gym up and maybe take some of the classes that they teach there. Anyone up for cycling or maybe Zumba?

10. Eat!!!!

Well you have to use those dining meals and money on something right? Why not eat it all???

11. Another Nap

Like I said before... Naps are great.

12. Go to a sporting event

Most colleges have sporting events year round and this is a good way to show your school spirit and it is probably FREE!!!!!!

13. Homework

I guess during all of that free time you could probably do the homework that you get from your classes (I mean this may be the first thing that you should do, or you may look like this guy).

College gives you so many freedoms that you probably did not have while you were in high school. Make sure you get good grades, but also make sure you have all the fun you can!!!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
