And That's A Wrap On Freshman Year

It is time to say goodbye to the greatest year.

And That's A Wrap On Freshman Year
Madeleine Patovisti

Well, there it went, freshman year of college is three short weeks away from being over.

The thought of leaving college to go home for the summer fills you with mixed emotions that are hard to explain: missing school, but not missing the actual "school" part.

I know I can speak for everyone when I say freshman year is the best and worst time of your college career. The things I have learned, the people I have met, the memories I have made, and the mistakes I have made, I would not change them for the world because they made my freshman year one I would never forget.

It's weird sitting around in your dorm room thinking that sooner than you think you will be packing it all up to go home again, and it will seem like move-in day was yesterday.

You'll begin to think about how you are going to function without your closest friends being only a walk away from you, and you'll wonder how you ever went about living life without the amazing people you have met.

Those late night cravings you get will still be present during summer, but the difference is there won't be the union at home, Cate won't be serving you breakfast for dinner when you've been up late studying, Papa Johns won't deliver that fresh hot pizza to your dorm room after a night out with friends, and I'm sure we can all agree, Canes wont be too bad to not have back home.

Your year of living in the dorms is done.

Those late night runs to campus corner to get that special Fuzzys chips and queso, those random floor meetings you never really remember to go to, the fire drills that interrupt you in the most inconvenient time, the Caf food that always gets old, the search for a parking spot for a good 45 minutes, the half mile walk from your dorms to classes, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by homework all the time.

You may not realize it now, but those are the memories you will miss at one time. Those are the memories that will make you laugh harder than you thought possible.

There's only three short weeks out there, so make the most of it. Take pictures, hangout with friends, finish strong, and say goodbye to the dorms.

I hope you guys found everything you were looking for in the freshman year experience, I know I did.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
