"The Best Years Of Your Life"
Sarah Richter

02.17.2017

They always told me that college would be "the best four years of my life." But my second year of college is almost over, and I can't confirm that to be true. I feel like most of my college experience has been watching the ones around me having the best years of their life, while I create a life on social media convincing others and even myself that everything is just fine. Maybe that's why I've always been so big on taking pictures. With pictures, you can create an image to capture a moment exactly how you want to remember it, even when that moment is gone. I always wonder if others are also in the same boat and if people aren't truly as happy as they portray themselves to be.

Lately, I've been just been trying to get through my days. School days are easier but tiring, I guess it's easier because I can distract myself with my obligations, even if those obligations have no real significance to me.They're all thing of this world. I can't say all days are bad, I'd be a liar to say that. There are some real good days, but most of my days a spent alone and that weight me down the most. Those who never have never dealt with these kinds of thing will tell me that it doesn't matter because I have God. But God's up there and I'm over here. Although I know he'll never leave me or forsake, it doesn't change the everyday real feeling that I have. In the beginning God mad man, and say that he was alone so he made him a companion. God knew it wasn't good for man to be alone. I don't even want a significant other. I just want someone, anyone one in the same world as me. I feel like either no one cares, or there's no one I can truly relate to. What's life if you can't share the laughter or the tears with the ones around you.

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.
