Let's Forget That We're Adults

The greatest time of year for us adults that have left the collegiate world? HOMECOMING. If you're like me, you are impatiently waiting while the countdown days are getting smaller. Beer, tailgating, games and football?? What more could you ask for?!

It's a time to meet with your college friends, fraternity brothers, sorority sisters, and support those football players that represent what we know as the best college in the world.

It's not just seeing your friends at the tailgate, but let's talk about the college town food and bars you KNOW are awaiting your return. Now my homecoming was this past weekend, and I made sure to get the local food; El Zarape, Cookie Jar, Myles Pizza, Campus Pollyeyes, Ziggys, City Tap and Attic, Tubbys, Shots, and so much more. Special shoutout to B-G-S-U and Bowling Green Community for providing my home away from home! Also, just a side note, who else had Nick Jonas at their University as he went out to the bars after the show in 2015? Where do you think he got the college experience for the new movie GΦΑΤ?! I digressed, I just had to reminisce on that.

Overall, homecoming is a few days to forget that we have adult jobs and adult life that have to begin again on Monday, and for just a few minutes we get to step away from reality. We get to see if we still are the reigning champions of corn hole, beer pong, and flip cup. (Yes don't worry, my college roommate and I are still the reigning beer pong champs!!)

So, my advice? Have the best time of your life at your college homecoming and watch some football! Live it up before you have to go back and "adult" on Monday because this only comes once a year

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.
