Goodbye Dorm Life

Moving off campus means saying goodbye.

Goodbye Dorm Life
Daria Shevtsova

Dear Dorm Life,

I bid you farewell. After two years, I will not be returning to the same dorm room that I called home. I actually won't be coming to any dorm room. My new home will be off campus in an apartment.

There will be no more lofted bed, which I was always terrified of falling off of. Nope, now my bed will be close to the floor with little risk of injury.

Food will no longer require a walk across the street, but instead down a hallway to a kitchen. No need for dining plan now.

I will no longer half to deal with people being loud or running down the hallways at 2 am. No, instead it will be loud neighbors if I have any.

I'll be upgraded from one roommate to three. Though, each will have their own bedroom and bathroom.

Frankly, I will miss the weird dorm activities that were hosted. Luckily, where I will be moving has social events as well. So, don't worry.

The gym will no longer just be down the stairs. Instead, it's near the welcome center at the complex.

No more cute name tags made by RAs outside my door. I will have to make those myself.

The room that I called home for two years will be missed. So many of my memories were in there. Half of my college life was spent living in those same four walls.

I will be glad to have more freedom, but it still stings a little to say goodbye.

I leave knowing it'll be home to two new girls next school year. I hope that they appreciate their time in my first college home like I did. Dorm life is really something unique.

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.
