To My Dorm

(Residence Hall)

To My Dorm

Just the other day I was on the phone with my mom. I had called her in a rage after a very long and stressful day at work -- she actually answered on the first call... which never happened. After, talking about my day, her day, the cats day etc., she asked what I was doing. I simply replied, "Going home and going to bed." That's just it, I actually called my dorm a home. Though I dread coming back some nights, that is what you truly are, my home.

I have made lifelong friends, and we have blossomed into one very large... yet slightly underwhelming bouquet of flowers. I will forever miss the nights that we would all lay in my bed in a large mass of bodies and put on a cheesy movie (paying no attention to it). The nights where we may or may not have been too tired to sit through the whole thing so we just laughed our way through it. The nights we really clicked though, those are forever etched into my long term memory bank. Trust me that's a hard place to get into seeing as how I forget so much.

My RA, what is there to say about him? He is a very unique individual. I've never met anyone is down to okay "Super Smash Bros" and listen to whatever new rap song is popular at the same time.

My bed, let's not go there. Some things are better left unknown. It's honestly is not as uncomfortable as people make it out to be though.

Since freshman year is coming to an end, I am officially closing the door to one major part of my life. When Friday hits, I will literally be closing the door to my dorm and open the door to an apartment. I am super excited to be living with my best friend, and I couldn't ask for a better underwhelming bouquet. To me, it's all I need.

P.s. DO NOT CALL IT A DORM! YOUR RA WILL BE VERY UPSET. IT IS A RESIDENCE HALL.

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.
