1. Small Class Sizes

Does this even need a description? Just ask yourself, if you had to choose between a class size of 400 students between four students which would you choose? I don't know about all of you, but the best bet would be that most of you would choose the classroom with the least amount of students. Why? Well, just ask yourself this "to learn or not to learn?" Well, since school stopped being free a long time ago, the answer to that would be learn.


2. Names Do Exist

I'm sure most if not all have heard someone say that their professor was just well, a professor. Nothing wrong with that, but at a small college the bonds of friendship usually form among students and faculty. As odd as it sounds, but our names exist here, and students stop being just an ID number.



3. Big Campus vs Small Student Body

Imagine this, you're at a huge campus with a student body population of lets say 600 what can you do? The answer, everything. When you're fortunate to have a big campus, and not a big number of students the possibilities to explore are endless. What's the biggest pro? Actually being able to have that secret hiding place.


4. Networking

Networking is probably a given, but it is a really awesome pro. Sometimes, getting started with your career needs a little boost from a professional already in that scene. What can a small college provide? Networking opportunities. Most if not all alumnis are always eager to help students because they know how the system works. Even if you're generations apart, let me just say you have a lot of connections already because of the shared college.


5. Real Community

Let's be honest, having a real sense of community at your school is a huge thing. What I do know, is that it is always found in a small college. So, why not?

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.
