A Letter To My High School Self: What I Wish I Would Have Known

Dear High School Self, In way, shape, and form, you are the same person as me. However, you have changed. Not only are you brighter and smarter, but now you are starting to become shaped into the person you always wanted to be while learning how to make your positive mark on the world. Now that you are all grown up, I wish there were some things that you would have known in high school. But, the thing is, life would not be a learning experience if we knew everything going into things; learning is all a part of growing up. First of all, I want you to understand how much you are NOT defined by a number. Your GPA, ACT, SAT score, and miscellaneous other “numbers” that seem to define you are very important, BUT they do not shape who you are one bit. I know you feel that these scores are bound to you

A Letter To My Ex

Hey there, For obvious reasons, there is no such thing as “us” anymore. It is kind of sad, but I guess reality spoke to us and said that we were not meant to be. It is extremely weird to think that just a couple of months ago we couldn’t get enough of each other: the playfulness, never ending fun, and inside humor. You were once the guy I could look at and just start to smile. But in such a short span, you turned into a stranger. At one point of my life, you were a prized possession to me, and there is no denying that what we had was amazing. I have always been told that you should never regret something that once made you happy, and you made me very happy. I  cannot say that I wish that I never met you because I am very glad that I did. You

10 Reasons Why College Students Miss Childhood

10. Can I take a nap please? Sure, you can take a nap whenever you want now, but even if you do, you will still be sleep deprived. When we were little kids, we could pretty much sleep whenever we wanted. I think we took all of that sleepy time for granted back in the day. 9. I believe I can fly, I believe that I can touch the sky There were so many dreams we had as children, and we thought that we would be able to accomplish them eventually one day. Now, we have learned that life is kind of blunt. No, you will not be able to fly; No, you will not be a princess or prince when you grow up (hypothetically that is); No, you are most likely not going to be President one day (if you want to, it is probably like a 0.000000000000000000000000001 chance). Sorry

Ten Things That Make Your Best Friend Your Best Friend

As you pulled up this article, I know that you were thinking about somebody. No, I am not a psychic, nor can I read your mind because honestly, I probably do not know who you are. But, somehow I know your BFF came to mind. I am not sure where you met your best friend, but I am sure you have a fabulous and one-of-a-kind story that you love to tell. Maybe this person has been with you since you were in toddlers, or maybe you met them in your 10 AM MWF Bio lecture. The bottom line is no matter how you two became friends, your bond stands out from the rest of your friendships. 10. Your boyfriend probably thinks you two are a “thing” And you guys just laugh about it because you find this so hilarious. Sure, you both are very close with each other (maybe a little

Beware Florida International University Students: Foot Smeller On The Loose

Yes, you read that right. There is a dude who smells feet running around Florida International University, and if you are not wearing any shoes, you might be next. Take a look at Juan. Juan apparently has an infatuation and love for feet because he crawled under a table to smell the feet of a random female student. To make matters even more sketchy, he ran off. While some may think this is plain funny (which it is), it is being taken with a careful approach as the police have tracked him down. Thus, he is under charges. Who knows, maybe foot smelling is the new way to say hello?
