Why Packing To Move Home From College Is The Worst

The time to move all your stuff has come again.

It's that time of year again. Students all over the world are finishing up their spring semester and getting ready to return home. If you live in a dorm room, packing is a real struggle. Everything you worked so hard to pack up to bring to campus months ago now has to go back where it came from. Chances are, you don't remember how you packed it to get to campus, so repacking it all is even more difficult.

Luckily for me, I only live about an hour and a half away from my campus so even though moving is a hassle, it's not the end of the world. For those who don't live in-state, moving can be a real pain in the butt. Parents have to make plans to take days off work just to help students pack and organize to make the grueling trip back home.

Bringing things into a dorm room is of course necessary, but around this time each year, students usually begin to question if it is all worth it. It takes so much time to take all your things and neatly prepare it to be transported from one place to another, and while trying to do all that while studying for final exams can make this time of the year one of the most stressful times of the year.

There is so much to do in so little time. Some people have to pack up an entire room's worth of stuff because they had a single dorm, which is even more work than those who have a roommate. For me only having to pack half of a room, it still took me several days. Now imagine trying to prepare to go home while still having to put in hours of studying in to pass the last tests of the semester. Some of these exams determine if you pass the class or not.

Good luck to everyone who is finishing up the semester and preparing to go home.

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.
