A new semester brings forth a new swing of events and a totally new you! This semester marks the beginning of my senior year of college and many thoughts tend to arise in my mind. Thoughts like "Have I done all that I aspired to complete prior to graduating and what have I learned thus far?" Honestly, everything that you learn in college cannot be summed up in a few words because the cycle keeps on going and going.

As a matter of fact, my experiences with college have taught me a lot of life and how we learn more from others. Socializing is a major facet of college and will continue to remain so after graduation. Being introduced to a vast array of intellectual ideas from professors and fellow classmates will enable you to think outside the box at various times. I feel privileged to have been able to experience all this and still am. Learning is what completes me as a person and every day is a learning experience for everyone. I cannot fathom what the world would be like if we were not constantly participating in the active process of learning. Also, learning is a multidimensional aspect of life.

In other words, interacting with others continuously fosters our learning capabilities and makes us more aware of our surroundings. This awareness is what governs our learning both inside and outside the classroom. After all, we have spent more than half of our lives in classrooms ever since we were born. It is funny where our prospective career goals take us and how we may never completely know how long it will take us to reach our destination.

I guess life after college will be riveting in a way because that's where our careers will branch out and extend towards creating the person we have always dreamed of becoming. So let's always strive to relish the flow of things and keep our desires glowing in our hearts and minds.

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.
