15 Things I Used To Have Time To Do Before College

In This Article:

Well, I have officially survived my first few months at college! Fall semester is over, and spring has arrived, which unfortunately means that winter break has come to an end. The holidays were wonderfully quiet, and during that time I took the opportunity to catch up on all the things that I'd fallen behind on during the semester. But even winter break wasn't enough to catch up.

Here are all the things I used to have time to do before college...

1. Study

Didn't study a lick in high school, but at least I had all the time in the world to. Meanwhile, study time is hard to find in college...

2. Read books for class

3. Read books for fun

I miss the days in high school when I could read books during class...

4. Talk to my parents

I try to call home once a week, but it might only be a five minute conversation.

5. Go shopping

This is why online shopping is becoming so huge!

6. Listening to new music

The "New Music Friday" playlist on Spotify goes untouched for so many weeks...and now all I do is listen to the same songs over and over!

7. Watch TV shows

At least the ones on Netflix and Hulu will be there forever...right?

8. Go to the movies

Now that I don't go to the movies as much, my bank account looks a little better!

9. Cook food for myself (non-microwavable)

Oh sure, there's an oven and a stove and plenty of pots and pans in my dorm...but I've just never had the time to use any of them.

10. Take really good care of my hair

I unfortunately only have the time to do the bare minimum when it comes to my hair...

11. Clean my room 

My roommate and I agreed to clean once a week, but that never really worked out...

12. Go to the gym regularly

Working out would be so easy if there were a gym in my dorm room...

13. Write for fun

This one actually hurts when I'm unable to do it :(

14. Go on adventures

School has never really allowed me to go on spontaneous road trips and adventures, but I want to try and make time to do more of that this semester!

15. Think

My mind has malfunctioned so many times.

Good luck to everybody starting spring semester!

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.
