Why I Don't Want To Go Back To School

Being a college student isn't as glorious as I thought it would be.

Why I Don't Want To Go Back To School

I don't want to go back to school. Yes, you've heard this a million times from kids, but with college students it's a little different--especially because we made the decision to further our education and it's not mandatory... And as much as I love my college campus and great friends, I just don't want to. You're probably thinking that it's because I am enjoying the sweet summertime, but I think there is more to it than that.

Here are a few reason that I just don't want to go back to school:

1. Because school

No one wants to go to school but sometimes we have to in order to do the job we want to do in the future. College is hard.
2. People can be mean

I always thought college would be better when it came to mean people--but I was wrong. College is a lot like high school, only everyone is a lot older. Not everyone is like this; sometimes you do meet some really awesome people.

3. Waking up gets harder and harder

In high school, we had to get up way earlier than we do in college (for the most part). So why is waking up in college so much harder? Maybe it's the late night Netflix watching or the homework stacked a mile high that needs done before the next morning. Either way, waking up is the worst and naps are cherished.

4. Being a grown-up isn't as fun as I thought it would be.

I don't want to grow up. Having responsibilities and errands to run isn't the life; being young was the life. Now I'm a college student, broke and in debt. Could I just go back to being 6 please?

5. Being home is way nicer

Even if we don't want to admit it, we love being home. Being around old friends and your parents again is really nice. You get to hang out with some people that you don't get to while you're at school and being home means mom and dad can take the responsibility back.

Of course, being a college student has its perks. But for right now, I want those perks to wait a little longer because I'm not quite ready to go back to school. Sorry, college.

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.
