Sometimes going back home for the summer can be a drag. Yeah you are happy to spend quality time with friends and family but you don’t look forward to going back to the house rules, curfews, and chores that come with living at home. Now it is time to go back to school, and although you are happy here are a few of the things that you are most likely dreading.

Homework


After a summer of relaxation, the last thing you want is to have to do homework but that will be your reality again for the next nine months.

Exams


No one ever misses studying for exams, well in actuality cramming. We all dread this.

8 A.M.'s


So you just spent the last three months sleeping in and staying out late, going to as ay parties as you want, or even just watching Netflix all night long. Now you have to get back to a regular sleeping schedule to make it on time to your 8am class and stay awake for the whole two hours.

Cafeteria Food


Although the cafeteria food isn’t always that bad you know you are going to miss having a variety in your diet.

All nighters


We all try to avoid these but when midterms and finals role around we can’t seem to help it. And the stress that comes with it we are not excited for.

Free time and extra cash


We are going to miss having free time to do what we want. With the school year starting we have to juggle classes, extra-curricular activities, and for some of us working as well. We no longer have the extra time nor the extra money we had over summer break.

Seeing the people you don’t like


There is always at least that one person that you are always trying to avoid around campus, you had a break all summer now you have to go back to ducking and dodging.

Fighting for parking


No one is really sure the purpose of those student parking stickers anyway when you still everyday find yourself fighting for parking so you don’t have to walk blocks to get to class.

No longer having your own space


For those living on campus this is a huge downside, even if you have an awesome roommate you know that you will miss having your own room and not having to share a common area or bathroom.

Missing those home cooked meals


So you spent the summer at home and got a bit spoiled with the fridge always full and a nice home cooked meal every night, now you’ll have to wait until the holidays.

Paying for laundry

Being at home you have your own washer and dryer. You can do your laundry whenever you want for free or if you’re really lucky your mom will do it for you. Now those summer days have ended so back to stashing all the quarters you can find.

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.

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.
