College is always better than high school-- and here are 7 reasons why!

1. You get to go to class in the morning, late evening, or at night.

Depending on what time your college offers classes, you can almost me sure you can find the class you need that will work around your schedule. Even if you have to take it online. My first semester in college I only had classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and didn't work. I got 5 days off a week!

2. You get to live in a community with so many people the same age as you.


There is always something to do in your town. Some organization has something going on in near you almost every day of the week. Between parties, fundraisers, and drama club plays, you will always have something to do to keep you busy.

3. Unlimited amounts of cafeteria food

Warning now: the freshman 15 is real! Mountains of pizza, wings, ice cream, sushi, etc., there are enough varieties on campus to try!

4. Freedom!

Sweet freedom from having to answer to your parents or anyone else. Any time you want to come in from a long night of (legally) clubbing or sitting in the library until 1 a.m. doing that essay you've procrastinated all semester long to do, is fine because you take care of yourself.

5. You get to drive to class

On most college classes, you don't have to walk (too far) in the rain. Or you can take the bus from class to class

6. There are so many organizations on campus

Between religious affiliated clubs, sororities/ fraternities, or the drama club, you can find something that will help you explore your interest and help keep you occupied.

7. No dress code


Unlike high school, there are very few (legal) stipulations as to what you can wear. So go ahead and wear your leggings and be proud to represent freedom from clothing rules of the past!


Whatever you choose to do in college, just make sure of three things: make sure it is legal, make sure it betters you, and make sure it brings you happiness!

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.
