College Choice

As a Student that is transferring from high school to college, there are many things we need to do. It gets to be really difficult trying to fit this all in during our last summer before adulthood. These are just a few of the things we plan on doing this summer.......



1. WORK....WORK.....AND WORK SOME MORE

we have so much stuff planned for before college, during college, and after that we need to work as much as possible. Which means taking on as many shifts as our body can take, and our managers allow.

2. BUY SUPPLIES FOR COLLEGE

this is the main reason we will have to work all the time. All our supplies add up! And don't get me started on how many times we will look up what we need.

3. DO COLLEGE EVENTS

everyone has orientation for college, and there are often many events to attend. Wouldn't you feel better if you knew the area we you live in for 2-6 years? Maybe even meet some friends for the next school year?

4. HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS

we hang with our old friends, maybe for the last time, and just relax before college.

5. HANG OUT WITH FAMILY

our families will be upset that we are leaving and plan on spending lots of time with us before we leave for college.

6. LOOKING COOLER

some of us plan on dying our hair (if you are a girl especially), or getting new tattoos. While others shoot for the limit and buy new clothes to impress their peers.

7. WRITE THANK YOU NOTES

everyone will be writing these, for the sweet gifts we got from family members and family friends. The gifts reign from money to a pack of gum, and we need to acknowledge them all. Even that strange gift we don't know how to use.

8. GO THROUGH AND CLEAN THINGS OUT

we finally get rid of that foam finger from a concert we held onto for 2 years, I mean what would we do with it? We take down our collage of our favorite celebs, giving up that stage of our fandom lives. We no longer feel we should obsess, that is unless they are beautiful and we don't want to. ;)

9. DO WHAT WE WOULD NORMALLY DO

we would be lying if we said we planned on going to bed early and waking up early on our days off. We will continue to go to parties, and play on our phones constantly. We will never leave that stage of our lives.

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.
