College snow days are truly some of the best days you will experience in college. Nothing makes a college student's day like reading that email that says, "campus will be closed today." We all remember what it was like to have a snow day in high school. Sure, you would sit at home with your parents and if you were lucky your best friend's mom might drive your BFF over so y'all can be snowed in together and have snowball fights and drink lots of hot chocolate. But even though those are some good memories, nothing quite compares to being snowed in with your college roomies and here's why.

1. There are no rules.

You can basically do whatever you want. You want to go sledding at midnight? Heck yes. Your roomies are down for whatever, whenever.

2. You can binge watch Netflix all day together.

There's nothing quite like curling up on the couch with your roomies and having a good ol' cry fest to Grey's Anatomy ... am I right?

3. You can eat all kinds of junk food.

Remember that diet you were on two days ago? Well, it doesn't count during a snow day.

4. It's basically one big sleepover.

You think when you move away from home and get a roommate it's going to be like a sleepover every night, but in reality, between going to class and work every day, that's not the case. During a snow day it's totally acceptable.

5. Playing board and card games is a must.

Because what better way to celebrate a snow day than by playing Cards Against Humanity?

In all reality there is just nothing quite like a college snow day. Whether it's for one day or three, you get to step back from the real world and be a kid again. What better way to do that is there than with your college roomies?

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.
