10 Mistakes from My First Weeks At College
Sakura Gray

As I have been going through college, I’ve kept track of some of the dumb mistakes I made along the way. These are some of the mistakes I made during my first week of college classes as I was getting used to living in a new city. I keep my mistakes in the notes section of my phone and have definitely accumulated enough things to document. This definitely isn’t the last of them (maybe I should start documenting the good memories to counterbalance the bad), but if anything it is funny to look back on some of my more unfortunate moments. Hopefully, I’m not the only one that is constantly on the struggle bus!

1. Thought I had an 8 a.m. class so I went to bed early the night before and woke up bright and early… turns out it was an 8 p.m. class

2. Found my classroom and panicked because the class had already started even though I was fifteen minutes early. I walked in trying to look apologetic…. It turns out it was the class before mine still in there.

3. Had a biology pop quiz on the first day of class… hadn’t even bought the textbook yet.

4. Went into the Co-Op to pick up my books, but I couldn’t figure out where to get them inside the store… instead of asking for help I just got frazzled and went home.

5. Decided to be a good productive college student and study outside… then a bird came and pooped on my brand new bio textbook.

6. Got sick my first week of college, was blowing my nose constantly. I met a cute guy in the lobby of my friend’s dorm and we had an awesome conversation the entire way up the elevator….I got to her room and saw in the mirror that I blown my nose so hard that it was bleeding. He hadn’t said a single thing to me the entire time.

7. My friend Isabel wore her Texas Tridelt face tattoo to the football game… and then became twitter famous because her tattoo was on backward. #SAXET

8. Finally figured out how to work the UT online portal… only to find out that I would be having 3 tests on the same day.

9. Walked home from the spray tan place looking like a Dorito and ran into a group of fraternity pledges.

10. Was watching a YouTube video about mitosis while walking to bio class and ran headfirst right into a pole.

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.
