Here we go again...

7 Thoughts I Had on the First Day of Fall Semester

Well, it's that time of year again. For some, it is their very first Fall semester of college, and others have been through this before...maybe multiple times. As I made my way through my first week of classes and attempted to get myself into a set schedule again, I realized that I seem to have the same thoughts running through my head during this first week back every single year. For that reason, I have compiled a list of thoughts that I had during the first week of Fall semester.

1. Here we go again...

Yep, that's the very first thing that ran through my head when I woke up on Monday morning having no idea what hall I was even going to for my first class.

2. Is that my alarm? Why did I set that?

Correction...THAT is the first thing that ran through my mind when I woke up on Monday morning. After having the entire summer off of school and going to work later in the day most days, I completely forgot why I was getting up so early.

3. Am I actually going to need this textbook I just spent all of my money on?

Seriously...I get pretty skeptical about these professors when it comes to packing my backpack with 50lbs of books worth hundreds of dollars on the first day, just to find out later on that the book is not actually mandatory. Do I actually need this? Or can I actually save my money for something more important and relieve my back of at least 25lbs right now by taking this meaningless textbook out of it.

4. Why are you walking so slow???

Some of us actually need to book it across campus to make it to class in three minutes so if you could get out of my way, that would be fantastic.

5. Another year of driving around campus aimlessly just for a parking space that is not even close to any of my classes

Glad I pay for this parking pass so that I can not find anywhere to park my car on campus.

6. Why on earth is that girl wearing heels????

I was amazed at how many girls I saw walking up and down hills on campus in heels on the first day of classes. Do you have a death wish? Cause if you trip, it's all over. My advice? Leave the heels at home and try something more comfortable. You're going to class, not a fashion show.

7. Arriving at class and finally realizing that the semester has started and summer is officially over

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.
