40 Thoughts Every College Student Has When They Come Home for the Summer

1. This is great, why did I ever move out?

2. There's free food! In a fully-stocked fridge!

3. I forgot what it was like to have TV channels other than PBS and the channel guide.

4. How did I ever think my $25 mattress-topper from Bed Bath ever come close to the pure divinity of my bed at home?

5. It's been three days and I have already irreparably altered my sleep schedule.

6. Love all my school friends, but damn did I miss my home friends.

7. Oh car, I've missed you so.

8. Oh god, there's leftover trash from winter break.

9. Oh my god why am I so vile?

10. Okay, trash is gone, time to air out my car for the next seven millennia.

11. Wow do all malls have such wide open spaces? I forgot what it's like to shop with more than seven inches between you and other clientele.

12. Oh right! There are people in this world under the age of 18!

13. Ugh, why is it a rite of passage for middle schoolers to plague the mall? Who decided that anyway?

14. I was never this annoying at that age....

15. I hope....

16. Did older kids hate me? Was I that tween?

17. Okay, it's been ten days and I've watched the entire season of Younger and all seven seasons of Parks and Rec.

18. I wonder if I should attempt to unpack all my stuff from school.

19. I mean really, what's the point? I'm going to need to pack it all up in a few months anyway.

20. Sorry, Mom.

21. It's been four days since I last went outside. Is this unhealthy? Asking for a friend.

22. My school friends are back on campus and are freely Snapchatting their adventures.

23. The FOMO is hurting. A lot.

24. It's fine! I'm having fun at home. Lots of free food to eat and Netflix to watch while your home friends are at work and your school friends are brunching and shopping!

25. I've been to the mall sixteen times so far this summer and I never want to see another Piercing Pagoda in my life.

26. How many days until move in?

27. Hello August!!

28. Wait, I've wasted an entire two months of my life.

29. No wonder everyone's grandparents hate the youth.

30. The most interesting thing I've done this summer is watch a documentary on the creation of cults.

31. I would like to create a cult that worships wine. That must be a thing.

32. Dear God, it's me, Kristin. Help me to make it through these last two weeks without actually dying of sheer boredom.

33. I went to a bonfire last night and now I have about seventy-four mosquito bites on my ankles alone.

34. I wonder if my parents actually like having me home, or if I am instead just tolerated, like a hobo outside a Dairy Queen.

35. Oh my, all my friends are leaving for school and I am of course the last to leave.

36. I'm so glad I never unpacked, it really made my life so much easier. See, Mom?!

37. It's my last night home and I can almost taste the cheap, frat-basement beer.

38. I feel like choosing your last meal at home is akin to choosing your last meal on death row.

39. It's 3 a.m. and I can't sleep from all of my excitement.

40. Goodbye, parents and stable WiFi! See you at Thanksgiving!

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.
