10 Reasons Why College Is Better Than High School

Some people say that high school will be the best years of our life, I really disagree. Here are 10 reasons why college is better than high school:

1. If your are dorming, your parents are breathing less down your neck

Moms just a phone call away instead of two steps

2. You get to control what classes you take

I can take art instead of Spanish? YES

I can take a yoga class for credit? YES

(Besides some of the major requirements)

3. You get to control what time your classes are

Morning person --> Morning Classes

Night Person --> Night Classes

Want more breaks in between spread them out.

Want a day off?

I don't see issues here.

4. Making better friends

Sorry, high school friends, I hated you all. Backstabbing and drama is still in college but its a little bit less.

5. You can start fresh

Unless you are close to your hometown, you pretty much have no idea where, what or who is around you. It's fun to try new things.

6. Professors are less into your business

Unless you really look like you've been hit by a car, Your professors usually don't become too much annoyance in questioning your personal life.

7. Sex is normal

Hickie there, noises here, dirty words, kisses.

No one bats an eye, less dirty looks by your peers.

8. NAPS

Couldn't nap in high school if i tried. Now that I'm in college, I nap everywhere.

9. LAPTOPS

I have not been in a school where laptops were allowed.

Pretty sure the professors can't even tell you aren't taking notes half of the time.

10. More outdoor time

My campus has a lot of grassy space, so I always take advantage of laying outside with a sheet on the ground. In high school, getting fresh air wasn't until the end of the day.

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.
