Dear Ole Miss...

Thanks for the endless construction... Oh and the fun times I have had.

Dear Ole Miss...
olemiss.edu

Thank you for teaching me to grow up. Thank you for teaching me how to live on my own. Thank you for giving me more stress than you can ever comprehend.

Thank you for my friends. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have so many people to hang out with. Thank you for the late night talks, the cry sessions, and the realization that everything will be okay.

Thank you for my classes. Without the stress, I would not know how to handle the situations that come my way in the future. Thank you for teaching me about psychology. Thank you for teaching me things that I never knew like what the heck akinotopsia is and the fact that the average person spends 6 months of their life waiting for a red light to turn green. Thanks for all the fun facts that I was unaware of until I came here.

Most of all thank you for the life lessons. Thank you for helping me manage money. Thank you for helping me through the stresses of terrible roommates, and the joys of the good ones. Thank you for helping me to realize that it is okay not to be okay. Sometimes I need to know when to take a step back. Also, thank you for not giving me more than I can take. Thank you for the days of class cancellations. Thank you for all the fun snow days... we really need more of those... and thank you for the beautiful campus.

Not many people get to experience the wonderful times of being part of an SEC school. Thank you for allowing me to have that opportunity. I appreciate all of the tailgating, the games, and the fun of Double Decker. Also, thank you for the endless construction wherever I walk. I have decided to find it charming. :)

Thanks for being my home away from home. Even though you have given me some pretty difficult times over the years, the good times outweigh the bad. If it weren't for you, I would not know how to overcome my failures and eventually succeed. Graduation is coming soon for me, and I will look back one day and miss my times here. I thank you for letting me be a part of the Ole Miss community. I will love you always.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
