Choosing what you take is the best!

In high school all we want to do is graduate and get to college. In high school there are all these rules and most of the time that is why we want to leave. In college, well we don't have the rules that high school does and it's great. Here are five reasons why college is better than high school.

1. No dress code

You can literally wear whatever you want.

2. You choose what classes you take.

And with that, you're less miserable in class.

3. Phones are allowed (sometimes)

Ok, so this is actually a bigger deal than it seems. At my college, some professors are stricter on this policy, but some are very lenient. When you can have your phone out, there is a weird comfort about it and that isn't good for the generation because it shows how attached we are to our phones. It is helpful, however, if we need to Google something and we don't have our computers, we can just whip out our phone.

4. Less drama

I repeat: LESS DRAMA. In college, you don't have to be around people that you don't want to be around. In high school, it was inevitable to run into someone you didn't like and there was a better chance for the drama to start. In college you just avoid people and nobody knows you in the beginning so why would you get something started when you don't even have to?

5. Friends

College friends are better than high school friends. In college, you can decide who you want to become friends with because it's a fresh start, but in high school, you knew everyone and were automatically friends/acquaintances with them. College friends are lifelong friends, whereas high school probably isn't.

If you're like me you probably only talk to about three people you graduated with and only one is still your bestie for the restie. I mean don't we want friends like Ross, Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, and Joey?

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.
