2018 Had Some Struggle Bus Moments But I Have Learned From Them And You Can, Too

Dear 2018...

2018 Had Some Struggle Bus Moments But I Have Learned From Them And You Can, Too

As 2018 is coming to a close, it is time to reflect on some things that happened this year. 2018 had quite its struggle bus moments for me in my life, but I was able to learn from those moments. I learned that failure was ok. Failure for me this year meant falling down and getting right back up. I'm not going to be good at everything I do, so learning to accept that has been a little hard, but I've learned that I am much stronger once I get back up from my tough times.

Boys will be boys as cliche as that may sound, and sometimes you might just need to not have some of them in your life because they may be negative and sis you don't need that kind of negativity in your life whatsoever (thanks to Rachel Hollis I have now picked up some of her slang/inspo). But the ones that do add value to your life can stay and continue on your journey with you in whichever form they want (most likely in a group chat similar to group me.. you may end up being the meme/gif queen to them eventually).

Friends will always be there for you to vent to, they know you as equally as your family. I've learned to keep all my friends close to me even if they go to a different school. It's nice to know that I will always have some people forever in my #squad. 2018, you have taught me a lot about myself but you have also been a year of growth. I've grown a lot in my faith journey and with the organizations, I'm lucky to be apart of (shout out to SAO, Odyssey, and Campus Catholics). Thank you for 2018 and all its memories but I'm ready to start the next chapter!

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.
