5 Things That Will Change When You Are In College
Bri Leifker

College is a time in your life like no other. It is a time where you truly have complete control over your life. The first time you do not have to ask your professors to use the restroom and the first time you choose if you would rather sleep in than go to class.

College completely flips your life around. In a blink of an eye everything will be different.

1. You will probably change your major.

You may come to school to become a doctor and you may graduate with a communications degree. THAT IS OKAY. You may feel as if you would have a 'better' life as a doctor after you graduate from school, but finding your true passion is way more important because it helps you LOVE what you are doing for the rest of your life.

2. Your views will change.

You will come into college believing you know everything in the world and no one will be able to change your opinion on anything... Well, I am here to tell you, you are WRONG. You will meet people and experience things that you never even thought about happening. You will completely change your views on certain things in life.

3. You will lose touch with your High School friends.

In the beginning of college, you will maintain your friendship. You will become busy, you will see each other less, and you will not talk as much. That is okay, because they are just as busy and they have found their home at their school with their new friends.

4. You will have a new appreciation for your parents.

Remember when you would get so annoyed with your parents when you would tell them something funny and then they would lecture you about how you will not get through the real world if you do not change your thinking? Do you remember being really pissed off and thinking they just do not understand how the world works now? Yeah, me too. You will understand that your parents lectured you so you do make it through the real world. You will appreciate all the lectures you only have listened to because you knew 'that they were so wrong'.

5. Time goes faster than you ever imagined it would.

You will wonder where the time goes. You will remember waking up for your first 8 AM class of freshman year and you will wake up the next day and you will be a junior. College will go by so quickly and you will not know how you even made it to your junior year. You will not know how you were able to manage school, extra curricular activities, and jobs. You will learn to treasure every moment because it goes by so quickly.

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.

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.
