5 Things I Learned After The Midterm

1.There is a lot to do on campus.

In just a few weeks so much has occurred on my campus. The music department has had several great concerts and recitals that were spectacular. Volleyball, football and soccer games occur constantly On top of all that, hanging out with friends is always a great option. Local restaurants, cinemas, or parks are close by and available if I decide to not stay in the dorm room. However, I have a busy schedule so I tend to stay in my dorm. Also, a lack of funds keeps me from doing stuff and pure exhaustion.

2.Football hype is better at college.

I have to explain this a bit. I have only known about football for about 4 years. Which is the entirety of my high school career. My family never went to football games except for three honor bands that I attended and one USA vs. Miss. State game. So the hype is real during the game. I simply enjoy the spirit that is in the stands. It’s all exhilarating

3. 8 a.m. classes suck.

I am a music major. Freshman theory was only available at 8 a.m. (I am not bad-mouthing the university that I attend I am just making a general statement). For all you out there who has to be in class early the morning and fight the urge to sleep even while you drink coffee, I know the struggle. Sometimes you have to get up after falling asleep at 2 a.m., get dressed, eat breakfast, and get to class. It’s college and you are here to get a higher education. Drink that coffee.

4.Literally anything is better than homework.

Procrastination. For some people, this issue is dangerous (myself included). I have sat in my dorm with my TV with cable and Xbox in front of me, knowing full well that I have like five things do the next day, and I just push it off to a later time of my night. (Usually why I go to sleep later and becomes an issue to my 8am class). Then hastily finish the homework hours before it due the next day because you went “one more episode” and fell asleep. The simple truth is that you will get distracted, just try to get caught up so you are not in that position. If you procrastinate, do not do it for papers because it will not be a good grade.

5.College is fun

I think this is a no-brainer, but it cannot be state enough. College is great, of course you will come across some issue, but this a new kind of world. Scholarly and adventurous events occur daily. Go out and do something and you will meet new people and learn something new everytime.

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.
