You're probably a little nervous/excited because college is coming fast. You're tired of feeling restricted by high school and seeing the same people every day in the hallway. Although MANY things are much better in college, there will be some things that you'll miss. I suggest that you are thankful for these things while they last.

1. Your food is always prepared for you

No, cafeteria food isn't great, but you will miss having meals ready for you in between classes and a time allotted for you to eat.

2. You have a car (or rides when you need them)

You will be walking everywhere. Need a ride off campus? I hope you have friends with cars.

3. You won't see your friends from home as much

Unless you find the time to meet up on the weekends, you likely won't see your friends from home until breaks.

4. Teachers who care if your grades are slipping

5. Lots of small assignments/homework

It isn't uncommon in college to have 1 exam worth 45% of your grade. You may hate "busy work" but at least it boosts your grades.

6. Your schedule is made for you

In college, picking your classes (before they ALL are full) is the worst experience. Be grateful that you have a guidance counselor helping you.

7. Your classes are much smaller

In high school you're teachers actually know your name, and make sure you don't fall asleep or get distracted in class... college is the direct opposite.

8. You have very few responsibilities

It may feel like you currently have 100000 things that need to get done, but just wait.

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.
