5 Things College has taught me about Myself

We have all had these moments

5 Things College has taught me about Myself

So I have been in college for 3 years now, currently in my Senior year. Every day I promise you is a learning experience that I am never prepared for. Learning and growing is always the key to success so I take my downfalls very well. As a college student, I'm sure some of you can relate to my struggles. I love when you can because it makes me feel like I'm not alone. If you have these same attributes let's bond on them. There is strength in numbers.

1) I am a weird introvert, extrovert, Type A person

I am a creature of habit. I truly do not like surprises during the college day. I really am on the move and I don't have to time to play. Now that I have described 75% of me let's talk about this other 25. This smaller section is me wanting to be in the mix and out and about. Sometimes I want to be sitting in the dome with my other colleagues and people watching. It all depends on the day and whether it's hot outside.

2) I Hate slow walkers with a true passion

When I'm on the way to class in an 11000-degree heat, I would like not to get there in head to toe sweat. I walk like I drive, The sidewalks are mine and if you are going to slow I will pass you and not feel bad. I truly dislike the people who walk slowly around classroom areas and know people are rushing. This sounds kind of self-absorbed but I guarantee you I can find a college student everywhere that feels the same way.

3) I refuse to pay for a class and be quiet the whole time.

Do you actually look at the bill that gets issued for a college education? This increasing pain in my butt is for me to take my classes and be engaged in them. I understand if you're more on the shy side because speaking in class is a lot. But if you come to class and just sit there on your phone BE ASHAMED!! Your paying average 100 dollars per class session and you don't pay attention? You have to be kidding me!! I speak even when I don't feel my answer is correct. If is a little intimidating but at the same time me asking questions and speaking shows on my test grade.

4) I am quite Critical about myself still but its improving.

Going along with talking in class I can still be timid about it. I have this business law class where I feel like I never say anything correct. The crazy part is I'm the main talker so it goes half and half. I feel stupid when talking BUT at least I am speaking. Sometimes we let our fears stop us from excelling to a better person. I probably will have the smartest comments for the class come next month.

5) My freshmen 15 turned into a 50 and I'm just trying to make it at this point.

I wish you could see my face every time I see freshmen twitting they are going to stay in the gym. I realized life takes over and food becomes comfort while studying. I am working to lose the weight but its has its hard moments. I balance multi-blogs, 18 credit hours, and a 40+ hour job. Eating and sleeping is the only thing I want to do in my spare time.

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.
