Two Years Down, Two More To Go

Watching College Fly By in the Blink of An Eye
College In Colorado

Sophomore year is coming to a close in approximately 37 days or less. When my 18 year old self first arrived at college, I believed that I had all the time in the world. I figured that four years sure would maybe go fast, but at this point it is going faster than I would have ever believed. While I aim so very excited for the upcoming years ahead of me, it is sad to watch time fly this quickly.

College has been an absolute blessing. I have made some of my best friends here, they are basically my family. They are the best gift I could have asked for. College has shown me so much about myself and the great big world around me. There are so many options and so many things to do and see.

Attending my University has been yet another absolute blessing, it has offered so many interesting course and has rounded me into a better person. In just two years I’ve learned more than I did in four years of high school.

As I’m thrilled to begin my summer pretty soon, it’s scary to think that I have limited summers left, I have limited time left and then pretty soon it’s going to be all new again.

Junior year has a lot coming for me and I’m excited, but it’s safe to say I’ll miss being that underclassmen in her dorm room, change isn’t easy while the routine is comfortable.

I know that it’s important to enjoy my time left as a kid, but it’s hard to say that the good old days are coming to an end much faster than I would like. I love everything about college, I guess that’s why people call it the best days of their lives.

I’m currently having the time of my life, it’s the time to enjoy myself and have unlimited amounts of fun. While I don’t want this time to end, all good things must. These first two years of college though has made me learn more than words could tell. Its life lessons, academic lessons and little and big lessons, ill eventually take into the next chapter of my life.

I will use my nursing classes in my career, I will cherish the friendships I’ve made and what they have taught me about myself.

I cannot believe how fast the first two years have flown, and I can’t even think about how fast the next two will fly. However though, even though the years will pass, clocks will tick on, memories and polaroid’s last forever and this incredible time in college will never fade from my memories.

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.
