Some insight to my college life!

My First Week Of College
HP

Well, we've finished our first week of college, and classes. How do you feel? I feel pretty accomplished by the fact that, HEY, I made it to college!! I'm sure all of us on campus and commuters alike, have been feeling the heat and worrying about textbooks, homework(If you got any, like me) and where you can get food from at 2 AM. Do you like college? Do you hate college? Well, whatever your story is, you do you, girl. Here's mine:

I moved into my college dorm on Thursday, the first day of September. I was all on my lonesome in my dorm, for three days until my roommate came (she's awesome, btw). I made a lot of friends and I was hanging with everybody like the cool girl I am...just kidding, but seriously I hung out with some people and did a community service project which was actually pretty fun! I really like college, having the responsibility to go to classes and get your shit done on your own is pretty awesome as well. I've been able to experience a lot in my short time here, so far and I'm really grateful for that. Living in a dorm and living the whole "college experience" is so much different then living at home and going to high school. I'm actually surprised at the freedom college has given me, as I said before.

College is obviously different for everyone, but this is how my first week has been. Pretty much the only downside has been walking across town and the insane humidity but other than that, I love college. I can't wait to see what else it has in store for me, I've made a ton of great friends, I have an awesome roommate, shout out to Sam!!, and my classes are great. We're off to a great start to the semester with our welcome events , and I imagine that it can only get better from here on out. How is college going for you? What fun freshman welcome events does your school provide? College is something you should enjoy and share with everyone! Hope everyone's first week of college is just as good!

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.
