Being The New Kid At School

We've all been there and it kind of sucks.

The first day of school is tough enough as it is, what with picking the "perfect back to school" outfit, figuring out where you're going to sit in the cafeteria and what classes you're going to take. But being an entirely new kid has it's own set of challenges. Below I've listed just how difficult it is being the new kid.

1. The first day of school is exciting and terrifying all at once.

2. Everyone has grown up with each other so making friends is just a little harder than when you were younger.

3. Finding a person you click with and never letting go.

These people are guardian angels in disguise.

4. Getting lost and having to ask someone for directions.

You eventually get the hang of it but that doesn't take away from the embarrassment.

5. When someone gets your name wrong but you don't know whether you should correct them right away or accept it as your new name.

6. Having to list 3 interesting facts about yourself, where you're from and why you moved.

7. Someone else moving and no longer being called the "New Kid".

At the end of the day, being the new kid isn't all that bad. Sure there are some times where you wish you could be back home with your friends, but meeting new people is so much fun and it really opens you up to new expieriences.

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.
