Why I Prefer Being At School Versus At Home

I love college.

Why I Prefer Being At School Versus At Home

When first going to college, it is a huge change from your everyday life at home. You are surrounded by new people and in a completely different environment. Personally, I love the change that college brought into my life. Don't get me wrong, I love being home, but I prefer being at school. Here's why:

I have so much more freedom.

I don't have to ask my mom permission if it's OK to leave the house. I can go see my friends whenever I please.

I get to live with my friends.

I am able to run over to my friends room and chat non stop with them about anything and everything anytime I want. We are constantly laughing and making new memories.

I have food available whenever I want.

I can confidently say I am the worst cook you could ever meet. I can make grilled cheese and eggs. I like being at school and having the ability to walk to the CUB whenever I want. I love home cooked meals, but I can't cook, so I'm out of luck.

I have met so many amazing people at school already in my first year.

I don't talk to many of my friends from high school. After attending different colleges, most of us didn't keep in contact with each other. The friendships I've made at school are long lasting. Since school ended we have been in contact with one another almost every day since.

I am in walking distance to mostly everything at school.

Being able to walk to Starbucks can be the most exciting thing. There are some weeks when I don't move my car or have to get gas because everything is in walking distance.

I have so many new wardrobes at school that I don't have at home.

I have my roommates to share clothing with, as well as my friends. There have been so many mornings that I have stared at my closet not knowing what to wear, so I go right to one of my roommates and find something simultaneously. That's a problem for when I'm at home, I spend hours trying to pick out an outfit.

If someone would ask me where I'd prefer being, my answer would be at school. I love being home, but I love being at school more. College has been a new chapter of my life that I have absolutely loved and can not wait to continue.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
