Well, Kent State it is finally homecoming week. This year Kent State has the privilege of playing our biggest rival the University of Akron. If you did not know there is a competition between Kent State and Akron like no other. We compete for the wagon wheel a very sacred tradition between our two schools. While some may feel the University of Akron is better here are a few reasons Kent is better.

1.) Our mascot is better!

2.) Our campus is prettier.

3.) Our Greek life is bigger.

4.) While they have black squirrels ours come and hang out with us. ( really I had one in my room once).

5.) Kent is a nationally ranked school.

6.) We have a fricken food truck!

7.) We have some famous alumni in case you were not aware.

8.) Our fashion school is also one of the best in the nation.

9.) WE HAVE A CAMEO IN TOY STORY THREE. That is the coolest thing.

10.) Our downtown is beyond gorgeous.

11.) We clearly have the better students.

At the end of the day, our 100-year old rivalry will still live on. One thing to keep in mind is that Kent State will always be better than Akron University. Go Flashes and I will see you all at the game Saturday!

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.
