Moving In Freshman Year vs. Senior Year
E!Online

Moving in is always a hassle. Some find packing things up to be the worst part, others find unpacking an impossible task. Either way, you are sure to discover just how much you hate packing throughout your four years as a college student. From some version of home-to-dorm to home-to-different-dorm to home-to-cross-country-internship to home-to-sorority-house to home to-college-apartment, there is no way anyone can go through four (or five) years of college without realizing that freshman you is not the same mover as the senior you.

Freshman Year: "Only two months until I move in! Time to pack."
And unpack, and repack, and unpack and repack.

Senior Year: "I think I'm moving in tomorrow. Probably should do some laundry."
...or I think my apartment has a washer and dryer. We'll find out, I guess.

Freshman Year: "I'm going to organize all my stuff in alphabetically labeled, color coded boxes"
Office Max is the new Forever 21.

Senior Year: "My favorite suitcase is a garbage bag."
The "Hunger Games"
of clothes. If it fits in the bag, it survives.

Freshman Year: "I am definitely buying this $60 Urban Outfitters chalkboard"
TBT to livin' large with high school graduation money.

Senior Year: "Is it rude if I steal toilet paper from Alden Library?"
I mean, I do pay tuition.

Freshman Year: "I NEED to bring both pairs of black heels and all three pairs of rain boots."
LOL.

Senior Year: "Will anyone notice if I wear these converse for every occasion?"
More importantly, do I care?

Freshman Year: "I can't wait to meet my roommate! I hope she's not weird."
... and by "hope" I mean I stalked her, her family and her coworkers on every social media platform and the results are promising.

Senior Year: "I don't know why they do, but thank god my roommates put up with my weirdness."
#Blessed

Freshman Year: "I don't want to leave home ..."
What if I'm bad at college?

Senior Year: "I can't wait to be back hOUme..."
What if I'm bad at being grown-up?

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.
