A Love Letter To West Virginia University
Best Value Schools

Dear West Virginia University,

There are so many things to love about you; your beautiful campus, your pride and your way of making anyone feel at home are just a few things that make us proud to be Mountaineers. It's so easy to fall in love with a University like you.

Thank you for your beauty. Campus is beautiful during every time of the year. Nothing is better than walking to class with the view of Woodburn in front of you or being surrounded by the colorful trees during the fall. Even when it's cold, the beauty of the snow around campus reminds us of why we chose you as our school.

Thank you for the people you bring to Morgantown. The kindness and generosity that spreads around campus is better than anywhere else. People here care about your success and the friends you make here can last a lifetime.

Thank you for Mountaineer game days. There is nothing better than game day in Morgantown. Game days at WVU bring Morgantown alive. There is nothing better than tailgating with all of the WVU community and rallying behind our team at kick off or cheering on WVU basketball with a full Coliseum of fans. We have the greatest traditions and nothing beats singing Country Roads after a win with your fellow students, alumni and fans from all over.

The amount of pride that comes from you is stronger than anywhere else. Mountaineers are so proud of that blue and gold. The state of West Virginia stands behind you and that is what makes us so unified. There is something so special about that and it can't be found anywhere else.

Thank you for the fun. Mountaineers definitely know how to work hard, but we know how to have a good time too. Thank you for the crazy nights, the day parties and all the memories that are made because of you. You bring us all together and make every student's college experience the best it could possibly be.

Thank you for becoming a home for every student that steps foot on your campus. There is something about you that could make anyone fall in love. The sense of community and pride that surrounds you is what makes us all pick you over any other place.

You are a major University, but make your students feel like we are at a small college. In a University of 30,000, you make each one of us feel like we have a place here. You are beautiful, kind and unique. You unite the past, present and future of West Virginia University. You welcome everyone that steps foot on your campus.

So, WVU, thank you for being you. Thank you for making me fall in love with my school. Thank you for constantly reminding me of why I chose you. Thank you for the blue and gold, the beautiful views, the amazing people that you have brought here and for all the times you have made me feel at home.

There is nowhere else that is quite as special as you. You are West Virginia University, a place to love and to enjoy now and forever. I know that no matter where I go, Country Roads will always take me home.

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.
