College is always better than high school-- and here are 7 reasons why!

1. You get to go to class in the morning, late evening, or at night.

Depending on what time your college offers classes, you can almost me sure you can find the class you need that will work around your schedule. Even if you have to take it online. My first semester in college I only had classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and didn't work. I got 5 days off a week!

2. You get to live in a community with so many people the same age as you.


There is always something to do in your town. Some organization has something going on in near you almost every day of the week. Between parties, fundraisers, and drama club plays, you will always have something to do to keep you busy.

3. Unlimited amounts of cafeteria food

Warning now: the freshman 15 is real! Mountains of pizza, wings, ice cream, sushi, etc., there are enough varieties on campus to try!

4. Freedom!

Sweet freedom from having to answer to your parents or anyone else. Any time you want to come in from a long night of (legally) clubbing or sitting in the library until 1 a.m. doing that essay you've procrastinated all semester long to do, is fine because you take care of yourself.

5. You get to drive to class

On most college classes, you don't have to walk (too far) in the rain. Or you can take the bus from class to class

6. There are so many organizations on campus

Between religious affiliated clubs, sororities/ fraternities, or the drama club, you can find something that will help you explore your interest and help keep you occupied.

7. No dress code


Unlike high school, there are very few (legal) stipulations as to what you can wear. So go ahead and wear your leggings and be proud to represent freedom from clothing rules of the past!


Whatever you choose to do in college, just make sure of three things: make sure it is legal, make sure it betters you, and make sure it brings you happiness!

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
