Margaritaville University Has Paved The Way For Higher Education
Margaritaville University

What was your dream school? I went through high school counting down the days for college. College always seemed so fun and such a great experience. Actually being accepted into a university was probably one of the greatest feelings ever. Knowing that all your hard work paid off and now you are off to change the world. But what if one the greatest university was only two years old?

We have all heard about Margaritaville. Whether the song or their numerous restaurants and resorts, Margaritaville is everywhere. They portray relaxation and happiness. Margaritaville sends you to your happy place and wants you to truly enjoy your life. So what does this have to do with a university? Good question, let me explain.

Margaritaville University has paved the way for higher education. They are only two years old but already have over 200 attendees. They pride themselves on fun, happiness, and true enjoyment in your life. If you can't see by now, it's not an actual university but rather a program for college students.

I have been with Margaritaville University since the first semester they opened their doors to the public and the experiences that I have both learned and witness have been truly amazing. The program allows the students to do what they think would be best on their campus. There have been numerous fundraisers for nonprofit organizations, campus-wide events, and even sports tournaments. Margaritaville University allows freedom to students who run the program. With all this freedom, some might fear that it can get out of hand but that is not the case. When you have a group of people who truly understand what Margaritaville is, love it, and have amazing memories with, you get amazing outcomes.

Students truly love this program. They understand what their values are and always want to push the program forward. Some students have experiences with Margaritaville since they were little kids and now that they get a chance to actually immerse themselves in the culture and spread the message of who they are, it's a full circle that comes with great experiences and happiness.

People may think that college students aren't the best people to let run a program, but they are wrong. With over 200 ambassadors on 125 campuses across the United States and Canada. Margaritaville ambassadors do their best work in flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts. They know Margaritaville is a state of mind, and help to share this relaxed mentality with their communities. It's truly a program that is one of a kind.

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.
