As we all know, Boone is the perfect college town. Living in an environment like this provides us with endless things to do, it may sometimes be a little overwhelming. If you find yourself wondering what you need to accomplish before your four years are over, then rest assured -- this list is for you.


1. Spend a night on the parkway looking at the stars.

2. Hike Rough Ridge and take the cliche picture of you sitting on the rock looking out at the distance.

3. Tailgate for a football game and cheer on your Mountaineers.

4. Jump off Compression Falls.

5. Eat at the double decker Wendy's.

Because how many schools can say they have a two story Wendy's?

You can't pass up $2 tacos.

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.

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.
