As school rolls around quite quickly, I, with a little help from my friends, have compiled a list of things you may need moving into school. It is a long list, but I promise everything has a use.


  • Jackets/ belt- It may be August, and it may be hot, but bring a jacket or two in case you go somewhere it gets cold, or if it gets cold at night.
  • Playing cards- A great way to pass the time, and a great way to socialize with a group of people!
  • Duffle bag- weekend trips home, or to a friend’s house, this will be super handy when you are sleeping somewhere besides your own room
  • Hangers- Do I even need to go over this?
  • Lint roller- Nothing is peskier than fuzz all over the black clothes you wear for work
  • Sewing kit- If you get a hole in anything, you mom won't always be able to sew it for you
  • Laundry bag- Self explanatory
  • Umbrella- I don't know about you, but I would like to stay dry on my way to class
  • Insurance+ss cards- Often times you need them, job applications, heal issue, etc.
  • Combo lock/gym bag- you never know when these will come in handy
  • Laundry detergent/dryer sheets- unless you are planning on not doing laundry...
  • Air freshener- don't have the stinky room in your building
  • Gallon Ziploc’s- for storage, travel, and many needs
  • USB drive/laptop- unless you plan on always finding a seat at the tech center... Which will be nearly impossible
  • Batteries- flashlight die? Batteries.
  • Soap- does this even need to be explained
  • Nail clippers/file/q-tips/cotton balls razors mouthwash/toothpaste/toothbrush/tweezers- basic needs
  • Deodorant/shampoo/conditioner- just as important as soap
  • Brush/comb- keep your hairs beautiful
  • Tissues- have a cold? Keep your germs contained
  • Door stop- keep your door open while unpacking, it makes you approachable and it's easier to bring things in and out
  • Surge protector- usually required for extra outlets
  • Message board- for you door so people can leave notes and know it's you room
  • 3-hole punch/binders/Stapler/staples/ scissors/highlighters/pencils/pens/sharpies glue/tape- basic school needs
  • Small tool set- ya never know when you will have to fix something
  • Shower flops- because showers are gross
  • Command strips- to hang things
  • Medical supplies-just in case
  • Lap desk- usually a nice thing to have
  • TV/DVD player- nice for nights in and rainy weekends
  • Lamp+bulbs- extra light is a nice thing
  • Photos- a little bit of home to make your room more you
  • Small garbage pail- much needed
  • Cleaning supplies- don't be dirty

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
