The Things I Miss The Most On Summer Break

I always knew that I loved my school, but I never knew how much I would miss the little things while away.

I never would have thought that I would love somewhere so much that I would miss it so much just being away for three months. Not even three months, I've barely made it two.

The place that I miss oh so much is my school, which reminds me that I really chose the perfect place for me.

There are so many things to miss about your University, and here are some of mine.

First of all, I miss my friends. A lot. I honestly never realized how much my friends I've made at school meant to me. Of course I love each and every one of them dearly, I just never realized how much time I do actually spend with them when we aren't hours away from one another. I miss all the smiling faces I see on campus between classes so dearly. I miss the late night Walmart runs, the Starbucks dates, the random adventures, and so many other things I do with the people that my University has brought into my life.

I'm not going to lie, I miss my set schedule that classes and other extra activities provide me. I love structure, and being away from all the things to do on campus makes me miss the business that the school year provides. I love the somewhat organized chaos that I find at school. Call me crazy, but I miss my set (and full) schedule so much.

I miss being on my own. This summer is the first summer I've lived at home in two years, and it has really been a shock. I didn't realize just how independent I had become until I decided to live at home for my last summer in college. I miss being on my own routine, and not having to worry about who was hogging the shower or leaving the hallway light on. Independence is one thing I gained by going off to college, and something that I've learned to treasure very much.

I miss my campus. Nothing makes you appreciate the little treasures on campus like being away for a while. While my University's campus may be small, it sure is pretty. I can't wait to get to see it every day in just a few short weeks.

I also miss the food options around town. Mostly because I love food, and each town has little restaurants that are so unique and oh so good. I especially the little burger joint next to campus. Of course I can get a good cheese burger anywhere, but no one does it quite like The Dixie.

There is oh so much to miss while I'm away from my University in the summertime, but being away will make coming back so much sweeter. I can't wait to catch up with all those smiling faces on campus, to finally have a (somewhat) scheduled life, to be independent, to see my beautiful school, and to eat all the good local food once again.

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.
