To The College Kids Who Want It To Be September Already

Summer is great, but being with your college BFFs is better.

To The College Kids Who Want It To Be September Already
Carly Polay

Dear people who have become my best friends in the past year,

Freshmen year can be tough. You come into a new school, usually a new state, knowing no one at all. Somehow, in the midst of the craziness you somehow meet your best friends who you know will be there for you no matter what. They'll probably end up being your bridesmaids.

Finding your best friends in college isn't always that easy. Luckily for me, my best friends lived in the same hall as me or even in the same room as me. I don't know what I would do without my friends considering I am literally with them 24/7. I mean really, if you can stay with someone 24/7 every second of the day, and not get annoyed with them- keep them around because they must be pretty cool.

Your college best friends know you better than anyone else. They know what type of mood you're in the second they see you. They know what type of food you're in the mood for without even saying it. The best part is they know what you did the night before at that party when you have no clue. Odds are whatever you did is on their snapchat story for the world to see. It happens to the best of us.

When you first come to college, you really miss your home friends. However, once these new people come into your lives everything changes. You only want to spend time with them and you don't understand how you've lived 18 years without knowing them. I'm actually weirded out thinking about how I've only known these people for about a year and I feel like I've known them my whole life. Pretty freaky, huh?

Home friends are always fun too, but I really don't think anyone compares to my college friends. Everything changes constantly in college- grades, relationships, life in general, but not your best friends. No fight could break away the friendship you have with your college homies.

This is getting way too emotional and mushy. But thank you to my college best friends for making my freshman year insanely amazing. I can't imagine spending it with any other crazy people. Can't wait until the fall!!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
