5 Perks of Having A Snowday In College

Snow days have always been magical to me. You wake up at 6:00am all groggy and sleepy to get ready for school and you get that glorious phone call on your home phone. You hear your parents answer the phone in their sleepy Monday morning voices and the automated sound of the Gods come through your telephone.


"The _____ Public Schools are closed Today, February __,2017.



You proceed to dance around your kitchen in your fleecy Disney pajamas, make some hot chocolate, freak out at how pretty it is, and proceed to walk back towards your bed.

Only after you take a cute snap with the iconic temperature filter.




But when you're not in high school and you're surrounded by your best friends in college, University's close and you have no classes for the entire day.

You look outside your dorm room and see the resident lot covered to the brim in snow as well as the roads and branches 100% decorated in glittery white.


You look to your room mate, and realize how hype the rest of the day is going to be.

You can't wait to:

1. Grab your bin top and sled down the hill of your campus.


2. Hike up to the cafe with your best friends and try to not entirely wipe out.


3. Get hella creative with food and recipes and suddenly turn into gourmet chefs and make so many different crazy foods for the rest of the day.



4. Obvious Netflix binge


5. Board games all DAY.



It feels like a mini vacation from the craziness that is college life. So, while winter sucks. Enjoy those cancellations with your roommates and university buds!

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.
