The Dorm Life

We hate it until we leave it.

The Dorm Life

Summer is ending very soon and it is almost time to move into your new home--not a dorm, but an actual house. While living in the dorms we always say how we can't wait to leave, but there are some things that will be missed.

1. Having a roommate.

2. Being able to see all of your friends under one roof.

3. The nights where you ask if you can "have the room for the night."

4. Having movie nights in a small box of a room on your laptop.

5. Locking yourself out of your room and having to walk down eight flights of stairs because you are too lazy to wait for the elevator.

6. Unlimited food at the dining hall...obviously I am talking about unlimited salad...not.

7. Pulling all nighters in the lounge room because everyone else in the suite is sleeping.

8. Being told quiet hours start at a certain time and not obeying those rules.

9. Parties in your dorm that boosted your ego because everyone came to hangout.

10. Not being able to poop for days because you are scared someone is going to walk in.

11. Never being alone.

12. Living with 600 people.

13. Living next to someone you have a crush on.

14. Breaking the rules...like letting someone from another building into your building after doors lock.

15. Having to walk everywhere because you don't have a car on campus.

16. Being so close to the library and classes that you can literally roll out of bed five minutes before.

17. Getting locked out of your building at 3 a.m. and having to call your roommate to let you in.

18. Walk of shame across campus.

19. Having a gym in your building... not that you actually went, but it was cool that it was there.

20. Six girls...one shower.

21. MOST IMPORTANTLY: toilet talks. I mean, how else am I going to know when there are events? Or facts about how bad drinking, sex, and drugs are?

22. The last moment when you close your dorm door to an empty room. That empty feeling you feel inside of your heart.

Take full advantage of the dorms while you still can because before you know it you will be cleaning your own bathroom, making your own food, and more importantly, having to fix your WiFi yourself!

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.
