7 Reasons I'm So Glad I Don't Live In The Dorms Anymore

The 'no dogs in the dorm' rule was seriously the worst.

In my opinion, dorms are literally the worst. I’m the kind of person that likes my space and the dorms were definitely not for me. I know that dorms are the best way to meet people in college, but sometimes people can be no fun to live around, especially that many. Limited space can also be the worst.

1. Community bathrooms.

The bathrooms definitely deserve that number one spot. I’m not sure if having a phobia of public bathrooms is a real thing, but if it is, that’s definitely one for me. But dorm bathrooms are so much worse than just any regular public bathroom. It's so weird to me that the place you clean yourself is the dirtiest part of the college experience.

2. No more twin-sized beds.

I had a full-sized bed at home, how am I supposed to adjust to this small ass bed?? I'm such a restless sleeper and I always feared I'd end up on my floor some night by accident.

3. I can control my own AC and it's the best thing ever.

I cannot sleep unless my room is freezing cold at night. Being able to adjust my own AC without having to check with others first is awesome.

4. I don't have to eat at the cafe every night.

I have my own kitchen!! I can cook my own meals!! And make food that I actually like!!

5. Privacy.

Having your own privacy is always a good perk. Coming home to your own room and your own bed is the best feeling.

6. Peace and quiet.

Your upstairs neighbors aren't constantly bringing in a whole zoo at 2 AM. The halls aren't always filled with screaming people or loud music.

7. You can't have dogs in the dorm.

Enough said ^^.

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.
