Beyond ready to get back to the place that I love most!

1. I get to see my Xisters (Alpha Xi Delta sister right here) 

If you are in a sorority you know that you are going to be dying to see all your sisters that live all over the country—especially since the second semester of Freshman year was epic with them. I cannot wait to return for part 2.

2. You get to see all of your other college friends

I made some lifelong friends in my first semester. Therefore, I can't wait to reunite with them to make even more memories while taking on my sophomore year.

3. Living with the best!!

My roommate and I from freshman year are extremely close. So, we decided this year to live on South Campus in our own little apartment. As August gets closer, we are getting more and more excited to make it feel like home and have some wild times!

4. I can't wait for my classes!

Unlike my freshmen year, this semester I am truly excited about my schedule as I get to vary off my required courses and take classes that really interest me.

5. FOOTBALL SEASON

Even though Syracuse is a basketball school, I absolutely cannot wait until we are back for football season. From the hype to the spirit to the tailgates, I am so amped!!

6. The freedom of being in college 

Don't get me wrong, I love being home. However, once you come back home after your freshman year in college, you feel like you are moving backward in life. For example, for months while in college I could leave my dorm no questions asked, yet at home, I feel as though I must undergo a police interrogation by my parents whenever I want to leave the house. Subsequently, I'm excited to go back so I can have a little independence back in my life.

7. This place just really makes me a happy person. 

At Syracuse University, everything just makes a little more sense to me. I'm overall just happier; therefore, life is better :)

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.
