The Bad, The OK And The Wonderful About Going Back To School
Syd Wolf

In This Article:

Everyone loves going back to school but is always a little nerve-wracking. Going back to a new school year ends one adventure and starts a new beginning. There are always bad things, great things and everything else in between

1. The Bad

1. Leaving your family and friends behind.

Watching the people closest to you cry is the saddest thing ever.

2. You're no longer in your "own bed."

You have to leave your bed at home behind, but good thing you have your own bed at school.

3. Your normal routine changes.

You may have to change when you shower, or when you wake up and go to sleep.

4. Sleeping in isn't always an option anymore.

You can't sleep the day away, every single day (unless you just don't go to class?.. don't do that though.)

5. No more home-cooked meals for a while.

Mom and dad are no longer there to help you make dinner.

2. The OK

1. You get a new bed and space.

Beds are obviously a positive thing no matter what, and you get to put new decor out!

2. Classes are better.

You get to pick classes and make your year fun if you want to.

3. You get to take naps if you want.

Have downtime? Take a nap. Sleep is fun.

4. You can go to the store whenever you want to.

You have freedom now, go walk around a shop.

5. You get to try new food.

School food is either super good or bad, but you still get to try it.

3. The Wonderful

1. You get to start a new adventure.

You finally are on your own and can start over if you want to.

2. You can organize your room however you want to.

It's your room (and your roommate's, if you have one).. get crafty!

3. You can be whoever you want.

It's a new place. . . be who you want, not who everyone wants you to be.

4. There are discounts to almost everything.

It's pretty awesome getting most things with a discount.

5. FINALLY GETTING TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS AGAIN!!!

THE BEST PART IS SEEING FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T IN BASICALLY THREE MONTHS!!!!

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.
