11 Struggles Of Going To School In The Middle Of Nowhere
Huffington Post

When you are little, you tend to picture college as this awesome place in the middle of nowhere, where older kids go to get smarter and party 24-7. Well, when it's time to pick a school, one major factor is the location. Do you want it to be in a city? The suburbs? Bumblefuck USA? Yeah, well if you chose the third option, congrats, me too. Why wouldn't you want to be far from civilization? These schools tend to have the perfect little towns and local shops that flow into the campus and make the entire town feel like it revolves around the school. Masked by this cute little perfect college dream world, you don't see the flaws of going to school in the middle of nowhere, until you get there... So here are a few of the struggles that we, the bumblefuck college students, experience daily:

1. The nearest major airport is around 2 hours away, so traveling is always a big production.


2. Nobody wants to visit you because it's "too inconvenient" for them to get to you, so you end up visiting them.


3. There are no major cities around to help explain where you are.

4. The food just doesn’t taste the same as it does in the town/city where you are from (aka real civilization).


5. The school is basically the whole town and there isn’t much to do outside of campus.


6. When school is out, the town looks like it comes straight out of Little House on The Prairie.

7. Most places are local businesses aside from big chains like Walmart and McDonald's.



8. Shipping dates are always wrong, sometimes even the 2-day shipping is late.



9. Going home on break feels like you’re returning from a foreign country.


10. You can’t go anywhere off campus without seeing someone you know.



11. The cell service and wifi suck.

But hey, you still gotta love it. Right?

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.
