10 Things You Do In College That You Did In Elementary School

It's funny how things come back into style. Just last month, I pulled out some of my old chokers hoping to find one that could come out of retirement. Since kindergarten you've gotten taller, smarter and probably better at sharing, but has that much really changed? Here are 10 things that you did in elementary school, that you've brought back in college.

Your mom would strap them on you before you went to an amusement park but now they are the perfect bag to hold your alcohol at a darty and on spring break.

How many times would you hear "bring a sweater, you'll get cold" and then you would tie it around your waist and carry on. Well now its like an accessory!

From this:

To this:

Putting stickers on your school supplies

It shows your personality!

From this:

Wearing buttons

Who else had the little machine where you could make your own buttons? Even if you didn't, buttons were cool af in elementary school and now you can show them off on game days!

From this:

To this:

Decorating your backpack

How else would would be able to tell which one is yours in a library full of north face back packs?

Painting your face

All the best parties had face paint, and nothing's changed!

Wearing lots of bracelets

At least we've upgraded from silly bandz, right?

From this:

To this:

Making decorations for your room

I always loved hanging up my artwork in my room or around the house. The only difference now is that I'm poor so it's that or have blank walls.

From this:

To this:

Wearing fake tattoos

The worst thing ever is when they don't come all the way off of the paper and then you're just sitting there will half a word on your face.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
