As the 2019-2020 school year is coming to an end, students are looking forward to the possible reopening of colleges and universities come the fall semester. Most universities have implemented distance learning since the middle of March. What once was just supposed to be a short, two-week quarantine period, quickly changed to cutting in-person classes for the rest of the spring semester, as well as summer. The "stay-at-home" orders are being lifted or reduced in some states, and students are hopeful to re-integrate into "normal" college life in the Fall. I asked college students from all over the country what they miss most about being on campus since now they're stuck in quarantine, and what they are looking forward to come the fall semester.

1. "My Friends!!! I'm looking forward to independence when I move back into the dorms!" - Hailey, FGCU

2. "Not having strict RA's at home lol" - Jalina GCU

3. "I miss having my own place to live, and I'm excited to graduate in August."- Aurely, FGCU

4. "Friends and seeing people" Theresa, CU Denver

5. "My boyfriend and being in Florida" - Emily, FGCU

6. "My friends and actually being in person for classes, that's what I miss and look forward to"- Alexis, CSU

7. "I miss seeing my friends every day and being stupid"- Ali, CSU

8. "Friends <3 and having more freedom"- Isabel, FGCU

9. "My friends" - Josie, WCU

10. "A schedule and being around my friends everyday"- Hannah, AU

11. "The girls jk I miss just going to class and having a routine to my day"- Dario, MSU Denver

12. "Foco :( "- Shannon, CSU

13. "What I miss the most is leaving the crib. I'm not looking forward to anything because we are going to have online classes which suck." Roberto- MSU Denver

14. "Growing, supporting, and celebrating with my best friends!!" Emma, CU

15. "Walking to classes. Sounds stupid, but it was a time to myself everyday to relax"- Tyler, UW

16. "I miss being on our beautiful campus and enjoying the walks to class with friends. For Fall, I can't wait to be in classes I enjoy and start a new journey as President of the Equestrian team!" - Cameron, FGCU

Opening this question up to other students in similar situations helped me realize that we are all going through the same thing. We are all eager, yet anxious, for school to start up again. For me, I miss being within walking distance of my friends. Luckily, most of us live within a few hours of each other, but it's still hard for us to find time to make that drive with quarantine, summer classes, and virtual extra-curriculars still going on. I'm most looking forward to actually getting to room with my friends next year. I didn't know anyone coming into my first year of college, so I had a random roommate. I'm excited to finally be living with my pals and make some exciting memories.

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.
