Its like living a double life.

College Vs. Home

What dedication looks like after pulling an all-nighter at school...


... versus being at home with too much free time.


Being with the squad out at the bars...


... versus being at your childhood friend's house.



Drinking before your leave for a party...


... versus being at home with your family.


Being single at school...


... versus single at home.


When you have nothing to do at college on the weekend...


.... versus nothing to do at home, during break.


Dressing up for a themed frat party...


... versus for family dinner.


What a gourmet meal looks like at 3 a.m. at college...


... versus 3 a.m. at home.


Leaving for school...

... versus for summer break. 

Seeing a dog on campus...


... versus on the street in your neighborhood.


Eating at the dining hall...

... versus at home in your kitchen.


Going out at school...


... versus in your hometown.


Your feelings about snow, walking to your 8 a.m. class...


... versus Christmas morning.


Sleep during finals week...

... versus your entire winter break.


Your feelings towards your roommates by the end of the semester...


... versus a few days into break.



Comparing stories about college...


... versus stories about home.



When you arrive back to college after break...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

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.
