Top Things I'll Miss When I Leave For College

1. My Dog

I have grown up with my dog and haven't been away from him for more then two weeks. I could never imagine not seeing him for months at a time. I assume many can relate since your dog is always there for you because they never judge you and as long as you play with them or pet them, they'll love you forever. Leaving my dog will be by far my hardest goodbye I'll have to say.

2. My Best Friends

Although I have many friends that I have gotten close to throughout my time in high school, I have two best friends who will be the hardest to leave. When you tell someone every inch and fact of what goes on in your life and see them almost every day and then are separated from them by 5 plus hours, it's crazy and heartbreaking. It seems almost impossible to create that strong of a bond with anyone else. I do hope to find best friends when I get to college but no one will ever replace my girls from home.

3. My Sister

My sister was definitely hard to say goodbye to when she left for college two years ago, but the separation might have made our relationship stronger. I always felt like I had more comfort being at home while she was at school, rather then how I'll feel when we both go to separate schools. At home, I could go into her room and still steal clothes that she left at home; it made the switch of not coming home to her everyday feel less weird. Siblings will always fight, but the forgiveness from that fighting makes your bond closer together.

4. My Bed

I have trouble getting out of my bed in the morning. Everyone just wants to get into their own bed at the end of a long day and that is definitely what I look forward to. My friends and I recently stopped having sleepovers because all we want to do is sleep in our own beds. I've heard several people say that the beds in their dorms are uncomfortable and that you should definitely invest in a egg crate. Sleeping is very important to me, so I hope that I find it comfortable.

5. Jersey Bagels, Pizza and Taylor Ham

I have lived in Jersey for my whole life and have traveled almost the entire United States since my parents love road trips. To me, the pizza in any other state just isn't as good. It doesn't taste the same and the dough isn't as good as the dough we make here in Jersey. (To get really specific, northern Jersey pizza is better then southern Jersey, but that's just me being extremely picky about where I order pizza). Bagels, my goodness, the only bagels that come even close to Jersey bagels are New York, but that's only in the city, which is very close to where I live now. Lastly, Taylor ham, that I've noticed is called "pork roll" almost everywhere else. Where I live, a Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich is what almost everyone asks for during breakfast

These things will all be hard to say goodbye to, but I hope I can find a new home in Rhode Island

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.
