Missouri State has been my home for five years now and since basically campus has been closed and shut down there are five things I miss about school.

Actually going to class

As much as I always complained about going to class, I now realize I took it for granted. I really do love going to class. I love going and being able to see people and discuss with the professor and other students about the class and the topics that we were talking about. I also learn better when I am able to sit face to face and take notes and be in the now. Doing school online just does not do it for me, I am always so distracted and and I have no motivation. I miss waking up early and walking to class to start the new day. I want things to go back to the way things were, I am ready for it.

Study dates with my best friends

Studying by yourself is always nice, but studying with those who are very committed to passing the class with you are the best kind of people to study with. There were times were my friends and I would study date in the library and get stuff down and then there would be the times where we would be in the study room and just talk like there is no tomorrow and get stuff semi done. I miss having the study sessions especially since we would be able to teach each other something that we weren't too sure of and learn from each other. I just miss my best friends in general, laughing, joking, talking about silly things, and just being together all together.

Sports

Since my freshman year of college, I went to every sporting event that Missouri State had to offer. I didn't have a car and so doing things on campus was my way of keeping sane. The three sports that I really love are volleyball, hockey, and baseball. I went to every home game. Baseball is a spring sport and I was so excited for this season. Going to sporting events was my way of relaxing and having fun with friends. Then the Virus hit and sports got canceled and I miss it.

Seeing people on Campus

Being able to walk to class and see people on campus was always cool. I always loved how busy campus would be when it was super nice and people were out enjoying the sun or studying outdoors. Seeing campus very lively just made me smile and appreciate the opportunity I have to go to a school like Missouri State.

The Fountain

I would be lying if I said I did not miss the fountain. In my opinion, the fountain is a statement for Missouri State. Whenever I would have a bad day or if I was needing to do something, I would take walks to the fountain and sit there pondering about about just anything. I could sit there for hours just listening to the water or just admiring the beauty of it. Every time I walked by it, I would always smile or take a picture. Now that campus has basically closed, I miss being able to walk by it and dipping my toes in the water.

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.
