What It Feels Like Moving Back To School

Summer's ending and it's time to head on back to school!

What It Feels Like Moving Back To School

It's that time of year again - summer's ending and everyone's flocking back to school. High schoolers complain of school, but any college kid knows that going back to school is one of the best times of the year!

Moving back to school feels like the beginning of an adventure. The new school year brings an air of mystery and excitement. Your neighbors might be new, the classes bring new opportunities to make friends, and there're a whole new set of weekends to be conquered. Brunches will be filled with recaps of the nights before and laughing about things no one wants mentioned ever again. Embrace it!

Moving back to school feels like coming home. You're home. You get to go to a space that you've personalized. Yeah, it's with most of your parent's stuff and food you've raided from the kitchen, but its your house. The fridge has your food, you've got your routine down, and that spot around the dining room table is y.o.u.r.s.

Moving back to school feels like growing up. You're one year closer to graduating and to the big kid world that may be terrifying but also exhilarating. Soon you'll be making your own decisions and be more in control of your life (but your mom will probably take care of the dentist because that's a little too adult).

Getting back to school is awesome and there's no telling what the start of the year could bring. It ushers in the time of putting sundresses away, pulling out the boots, scarves, and pumpkin spice lattes. Moving back starts you off on a blank page in the book that is your college career. Have a blast.

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.
