Must-Haves For The School Year

Do you have these in your college haul?

Must-Haves For The School Year

There are things we all need for school, and our must-needs may vary from person to person. Here is what I found that everyone should have one of.

1. An ID holder/keychain

It can hold your money, your school ID, your keys, anything important. Especially between classes and quick errands, you may not want to carry a purse. It is a simple way to keep everything safe and secure and in one spot, so you don't loose it.

2. Mini fridge

This technically is not a must, especially if you and your roommate are willing to share one or if one of you already have one, but it is nice to keep some fresh fruit or some cold drinks on hand and not have to go to the dining hall for small necessitates .

3. Shower shoes

You absolutely 100 percent need these. You do not know who's used the shower before you or if it's totally clean. Protect your feet from the bacteria that may be hiding and from the "gross" floors.

4. Umbrella and rain boots

I found out the hard way that you definitely need rain boots and an umbrella for those heavy down pours when you have class. Class won't be cancelled no matter how hard it is raining.

5. Bed risers

They are cheap and inexpensive and give you a hand in storage space. Lifting your bed up a couple more inches makes a huge difference. It allows you to put so many more things under your bed and not out in the limited open space you have.

These are my absolute musts for school. I hope this inspires you to think of school supplies you may need or want to get now or for the future. Happy school shopping!

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.
