If you're a freshman about to head off to college, you're probably really excited for everything to come and can't wait start your first day of freshman year.

If you're a senior heading back to college to start your last year or semester, chances are you're really not ready to go back because you're tired or you're not ready to face your college career coming to an end. The differences between freshman year and senior year don't end with the feelings you have getting ready so start this fall semester, so here are a few of the most noticeable between freshman and senior year!

1. On finals:

Freshman year:

You'll feel like your finals determine your entire life and that one bad grade could ruin you.

Senior year:


You'll have so many things to study that you just give up and procrastinate your life away.

2. On going out:

Freshman year:


You've probably never turned down the chance to go out and dance the night away with your friends.

Senior year:

You probably very conveniently "get sick" when its time to leave your Netflix session.

3. Joining organizations, clubs or committees:

Freshman year:


You have a "do all the things!" attitude and find it hard to say no.

Senior Year:


You've already devoted your time to so many things that the idea of joining something new makes you want to vomit.

4. Going home on the weekends:

Freshman year:


The idea of going home every weekend seems lame to you and you don't want to be that "person."

Senior year:


Home is your safety zone where doing laundry and eating food is still free. Chances are you make it a point to go home at least once a month.

5. Your looks:

Freshman year:

You watch what you wear and make sure to look really presentable before heading out of the dorm.

Senior year:

You probably have a few go to outfits and only look really presentable when you have to do a presentation.

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.
