Six weeks into summer and I've got to say... holy cow, I miss Boro. I miss how the air sometimes reeks of manure, the cute relationship goals with ducks and their babies and I miss living with my best friends and walking to White House on a Friday night.

The first summer after college sucks, here's why:

6 Things I Learned During My First Summer After College

6 Things I Learned During My First Summer After College

1. Your friends complain about how they haven't seen you in forever.

SORRY THAT YOU LIVE A BILLION MILES AWAY.

2. Your college professors ask why your summer assignment is late.

S U M M E R. V A C A T I O N. Say it with me.

3. If you’re like me, you spent your entire meal plan plumping up for the winter, so summer body goals only exist if your goal is a small beached whale.

My fat rolls bring all the boys to the yard.

4. You managed to come home with more crap than when you left…

"But dad, I REALLY needed all 4 of those sweaters in different colors!"

5. You try to get your old job back but...

Guess working breaks don't count...Do they Tommy?

6. Your college lingo hasn't hit your hometown yet.

"WTF does "lit" even mean???" - Mom

7. Your parents offer you alcohol and you have to act like you don’t know anything about it what-so-ever…

PFT.. Alcohol? Wat is dat?

8. Running into old high school “friends” and having to act happy to see them the whole time.

You blacked out every weekend and joined a sorority? OMG no way, so did the majority of our graduating class!

9. Getting rejected from the 5th job you applied for…

*feels entitles to a higher paying job because she has 33 college credits*

10. When your parents still make you have a curfew and you can’t fight it.

"But Daddddddddd, you threw off my college groove!!!"

11. Realizing that there's still time to get in shape for that beach vacation coming up.

You can get a six-pack in two weeks right? Asking for a friend.

12. But, old habits die hard...

Damn you, John's pizza. You delicious devil, you.

13. Realizing that you miss everything about college and you can’t wait to reunite with your squad.

Boro friends, I miss you. 10 more weeks until we're getting rowdy and having the time of our lives. ❤️

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
