I just want an appropriate nap time.

10 Reasons Why I Miss Kindergarten
Keywords Suggest

At the end of 2017, I am hoping to be an official COLLEGE GRADUATE. However excited I may be, I can't help but think about how good I had it when I was in kindergarten (which up until today, thought it was spelled kindergarDen)... ANYWAYS! I realize as I'm working on 30 case reports, three projects, and papers for days, just how nice it would be to just go back to the days when I cried because I had to leave.

1. Nap time!

I mean, the 10-15 minutes in between classes are a nice time to grab a couple of z's. But... of course, you don't because that's "unacceptable."

2. Playing house

It's not fun anymore. Paying bills is not something we did in the house corner of the classroom. It's real.

3. Book buddies

Although I didn't like mine at first, he still read me Barbie books. If I had to pay someone to read any book I pick, it would be my textbooks...

4. Long recess

The only recess I get is walking my dog and walking to class.

5. Cleaning desks with shaving cream

Yup... Shaving cream is too expensive to waste like that now. But I'll never forget how fun it was writing my name in the shaving cream.

6. High fives

Remember when you'd be walking in line and the older students would walk by and just high five you?! Yeah that doesn't happen when you're 21...

7. Snack time

Hahahaha, who am I kidding? I still snack. I actually might snack more and that's a problem.

I'll work on it...

Probably not.

8. P.E.

I miss P.E. so much

I don't know why everyone hates P.E. or tries to avoid it! Maybe I only liked it because I'm so competitive it's actually disgusting. Kickball, tag, four square... you name it, I love it.

9. Movie time

We still have movie time in some classes but this was extra snack and nap time in kindergarten!

But, to be honest, the movies in college are a lot better.

10. Graduation

The greatest achievement of kindergarten was graduating. Kindergarten was amazing... I learned the correct way to say crayon (it's not crown), advanced ABC's, how to make friends, what a crush is (John Luke), and, most importantly, it planted a seed for the woman I was going to become.

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.

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.
