1. Comfort

The most crucial part of making a college decision is how the school makes you feel. It isn’t always possible to visit every school you get accepted to, but it is important to learn everything you can about the schools. What college to go to isn’t a decision one makes rashly. Many people end up going to colleges where they don’t feel like they belong or they can’t find their own friend group. College is about finding the real you and it isn’t possible to do that if you don’t feel like you belong at your school. You want to be able to find your true squad and that starts with finding your true college.

2. Money

Money is the second factor that comes into making your college decision. The amount of money you and your family can afford to spend on college is a limitation on the places you can go to college. Let’s face it college is expensive, and the sad truth is everyone can’t afford to go wherever they want. With that being said though it should be understood that just because a school is more expensive doesn’t mean it should just be instantly refused.

3. Future

The final consideration is how that college will help you in your career. Connections are what can secure jobs in this day and age. Every college is known for offering connections in different careers or just overall excelling in certain areas. If you are a person who wants to work in a certain field or in a certain part of the country/world each college poses a different level of usefulness to you. We make so many goals for ourselves and choosing the right college is the first step in reaching those goals.

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.
