The words back to school tend to only appeal to those who are in college. Being in middle school or high school just means going back to 8 hour long school days, crowded hallways, and lecture after lecture. But, when you are in college, going back to school means friends, new rooms, and lots of fun. Decorating your college dorm is one of the most fun things to do and doing it with your roommates/best friends makes the task all the more enjoyable. Although you are on campus to learn and create academic opportunities for yourself, those things listed above are what we really look forward to, let’s be honest. So, the top five reasons you should be excited to go back to school are listed below!

1. Friends

The real ultimate reason you want to go back to school is because you will get to live with your friends again. The convenience of living with friends is not something to be overlooked, as many college students know the long summers without them are hard and not as much fun.

2. The Fun

The fun, however you may define this, parties, crafts, get togethers, club sports teams, all the works. These are a huge part of the college experience and going back to them is exactly what you’ve been looking forward to all summer long. Not to say that you haven’t had fun with your hometown friends or anything like that. But, you are about to have a school to throw down with and that is something fantastic to look forward to.

3. New Room

You get to decorate your own personal room and that is super exciting. Your own style comes into play you can do whatever you feel in your new room. Making a nice cozy space your own is one of the best feelings in the world, and you get to do it each and every year. Talk about excitement.

4. The Food

Okay, now this is usually not something college students look forward to because campus food tends to be incomparable to a nice home cooked meal, but if you are living in an apartment then you might be looking forward to it. Being able to make your own meals at school is quite luxurious and can keep your health in check as well, so that is always a plus.

5. The Potential

This is by far my favorite thing that I look forward to coming back to school. Whether it be the academic potential, the new friend potential, the athletic ability potential, it is looking forward to the growth you can make in all these areas. Not only those areas but thousands more as well. Personally, academic potential is my favorite because each semester you get a chance to again improve on your intelligence, understanding of subject matter, and to broaden your intellectual horizons. New friends and athletic ability shouldn’t go ignored either, because they are great areas that can be added to as well.

So, all in all look forward to going back to school, the growth, new experiences, and fun you will have!

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.
