Is packing really packing without wanting to cry?

The Reality Of Packing For College

The time for school is here and now, and quite frankly I’m just not ready for that commitment. Although packing is actually the most frustrating thing in the world, it has to be done, and this list is the reality of my packing experiences.

  1. Create a mindset that you’ll get everything done in 2 hours tops.
  2. Turn on your fave Netflix show for some background noise.
  3. Make some cookies to snack on while watching.
  4. Open your suitcase.
  5. Click next episode.
  6. Throw in a pair of shoes to the suitcase.
  7. Decide you need a drink break... (Wine preferably)
  8. Throw every t-shirt you own into one suitcase, cause that’s the designated suitcase for your prize possessions.
  9. Take a drink while singing the opening song of “Orange is the New Black.”
  10. 10. Close the suitcase.
  11. 11. Give yourself a reward, like another glass of wine.
  12. 12. Call your best friend to come help you pack.
  13. 13. Make more cookies, brownies, also margaritas.
  14. 14. Realize your friend didn’t actually come for help, but for the alcohol.
  15. 15. Shove your pillow pet, sweat pants, and shot glasses in the suitcase and boom.
  16. 16. Lastly, get in the mindset that you’re actually not going to get anything done.

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.
