1. Late night Cookout runs

Whether it be after the late night study sessions in the library or nights you cannot sleep Cookout is always there. Perfect for the broke college student with their cheaply priced meals. This is the biggest school year tradition I will miss with my friends for my first summer back home.

2. My friends

Living right next door to your best friends is your childhood dream come true. You never have to get in the car and go pick them up simply just knock on their door and boom they are there. All the family dinners, mall trips to find that perfect outfit, and so much more they have been here for it all.

3. The gym

The gym is state of the art at most colleges, open for 24 hours, and you can always find something to keep you busy there. Midnight workouts, quick after class runs, or nightly Zumba classes will be missed. You will never get bored I promise you that.

4. Clubs and hobbies

Weekly activities help keep this college kid from going insane. My clubs are one of the few things besides class that give a college kid structure and keeps them busy form those after class naps. I will miss. my little club families but just wait til next year!

5. Last minute plans

One of the best things about college is the freedom you receive and with that comes a bunch of free time. You get to choose just how you spend it and what better than last minute plans. When it comes to my friend group we are the worst at this, waiting til the very last minute to plan something forgetting so bored we finally make plans. However, some of these plans have been the best parts of college and have even lead to my other favorite activity: Cookout runs.

Freshman year will always hold a close place to my heart and all the memories I have made I will cherish. Year two, you better be just as good to me as this one was. Here's to three more years!

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.
