I'm Sad About Moving Out Of The Dorm I Thought I Hated

Freshman year ending is a lot sadder than I thought

I'm Sad About Moving Out Of The Dorm I Thought I Hated
Blakeley Addis

I do not think that I have ever not wanted to do something more, then leave home for college. Like yeah, I was excited, but the thought of growing up, moving, and leaving some people behind terrified me. But here I am, sitting alone in my empty dorm room, and I do not want to leave.

This tiny space I lived in for 9 months, has seen everything. This place feels like home now, and I am almost as sad to leave this place as I was sad to come to this place last summer.

The tiny twin bed has been one of my favorite spots, the shower I can barely move in was the only space I was really able to think, the desk that no matter how many times you cleaned it, it was always dusty, and the space in between our beds was the perfect spot for our nightly dance parties.

I am going to miss this place more than I thought I would and that surprises me, not that I would ever want to live here again. I think it is just a sentimental place because of all the firsts that happened here. More things happened here that help define who I am as a person than the house that I grew up in my entire life. The house I grew up in helped me become who I am today, but the dorm I have lived in has molded me into me.

Personally. I think everyone should have to experience living in a dorm. They really are not as bad as people make them out to be...besides the elevator being broken and running out of hot water(;

So thanks for all of the friends and amazing memories you have given me 602, you were a real one!!

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.
