It is funny that someone who paid to go to college is writing this article. This girl is in debt up to her eyeballs at this point and it is all because of those nasty student loans.

I believe college should be free for all. It would make life so much easier for everyone.

1. One of the biggest reasons students dropout of college is because of Cost.


2. Education is vital for survival of one's academic, social and/or political career.


3. It would reduce the unemployment rate and less people would be on government assistance.


4. There would be a more educated workforce.


5. There would be more educated citizens.


6. A higher level of happiness and health.


7. A possible lower crime rate.


8. People would be able to try new ideas and show off their talents and pursue the life they want because they wouldn't be starting off their life with debt.

9. Students would not have to worry about screwing up their cosigners credit.


10. More people can have a home, cars, get married, and have kids.


All in all, this is pretty much how I feel about the education system. Even though I am already done college I do believe new students go into college should have a free education.

There are of course cons to the idea, but I believe my 10 items put into perspective what would be good about going free. The world would be such a different and amazing place.

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.
