Why I Cannot Wait To Go Back To College

If you're anything like me, you've been daydreaming about returning to college the second summer started. It has been a long few months of missing your college friends and the social life that college entails. Some of you may have even had to return to the ruling of your parents if you went back home for the summer. Needless to say, we are all ecstatic to return to college. If you aren't, then you go to the wrong school. As my last few days come to an end, though, I'm starting to remember the more brutal aspects of college, and remembering what exactly it is that I am going back to.

Prepare to be financially unstable again because you've had the luxury of working all summer but that is now going away and if you're dumb like me then you just studied abroad and spent all your money so now you're going back to college extra broke which sucks because how are you supposed to buy late night pizza all the time and you won't have time to work because you'll be in class all the time which will be hard to focus on since the weather is still so summery and when you aren't in class you are doing homework or writing papers or studying for exams or crying about how you aren't doing your homework or writing your papers or studying for your exams and then there is the likelihood that your exams won't go as well as you hoped which means that next time you need to do even more studying which you don' have time for still because if you're like me then you are in a sorority and have Monday night dinners and formals and socials and philanthropy events and you might just want to have any executive position because that'll look good on a resume so just ignore the fact that you still don't have time for that and do it anyways oh and since you are so forward thinking about your resume then you might as well join a few extra clubs and associations because you're thinking they only meet once a week and then at this point you realize that if you had cut the multiple extracurricular activities you probably could have just gotten a job but you didn't so you're broke and now you have negative time and have given up sleep entirely and devoted your life to coffee and espresso and hope with all your might that you can at least use your weekends to relax since you are insanely busy during the week but wait you can't do that either because football games and tailgating which there is always time for and (sigh) ......


maybe I can wait a little bit to start college again.

Nah, who am I kidding. I'm still ecstatic. I'll meet you at the tailgate.

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.
