Even though sometimes it feels like there's nothing to do in Starkville, there are definitely things that I will miss about it. Here are some things that make Starkville, well Starkville.

1. Everything I need is within a 10 minute drive.

The feeling of only having to get gas every 3 weeks is like no other.

2. The Refuge is the best escape from life

The 20 minute drive down Mississippi backroads is just as freeing as the view at the refugee. It really makes the best sunday afternoon.

3. There's very few commercial stores, so I have no where to spend all my money

Thanks for putting me on a shopping budget Starkville. I have to drive to TJ Maxx in Columbus to Splurge

4. All the sporting events

Before transferring here, I could really care less about sports. But MSU has made me really appreciate the social aspects of sports (and maybe the actual sport part of it). Football, basketball, and baseball games always provide fun ways to get together with others and ring some cowbells or dress like a banana.

5. It will never disappoint my late night sweets craving

From Bops, to Cookout, Dairy Queen, Local Culture, insomnia, Sonic, and Churn and Spoon I have endless options when I want a guilty pleasure. Although my body doesn't appreciate it, my stress levels do.

6. The Drill Field

I always love throwing frisbee with friends on the drill field on a nice day or just running into people I know walking to classes. Also, the grass is perfectly green and the building around are very aesthetic.

7. The Cotton District

Jumping around the cotton district is always a fun night out. The buildings are beautiful and the vibe is very--well--college.

8. Bulldog Bash

The free music is amazing, but being squished within thousands of people and jumping up to see is all part of the experience.

9. The Rose Garden

The perfect place for photoshoots, proposal, or afternoon chats. This local treasure has always been a go-to.

10. The people

As much as I will miss Starkville, I will miss the people here so much more. I have been welcomed her with open arms (even as a Northerner) and made lifetime friendships here.

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.
