Why College Is The Best Time Of Your Life
Students Discussion Club

College will be the best experience of your life. When you graduate high school, people always say congratulations and good luck. They also tell you that college will be the best experience of your life. Why will it be the best experience of your life? As a second year college student, I feel confident answering that question.

College is the best experience of your life and has already been mine so far because of everything. I am increasing my knowledge every day. It also challenges me more than I have ever been challenged. I was not the brightest person in high school, but I wasn’t challenged there. College is challenging and makes you work harder for your goals. Classes are challenging but rewarding and teachers are smart and more available. They always have set office hours for students to talk. College is the best time to meet those that will be your best friends. I joined a fraternity and now have almost 40 brothers. The friends you meet in college will be your friends for the rest of your life. College is also a great time to find interests. There are plenty of activities and clubs to join. These are great ways to find interests, hobbies and new friends. Another great thing about college is that it prepares me for adulthood. Living on campus is almost like living for yourself. You have to be prepared for everything. College is also a great place to gain leadership training. Clubs and activities need presidents and captains to guide the group. College is also filed with many opportunities, including traveling to another country. There are plenty of internship opportunities and on campus jobs. I was fortunate enough to have the chance to travel to Ireland for two weeks.

College is a great place to spend time. I have two more years of college and plan to enjoy every moment of it. There are so many opportunities waiting to be claimed. So when you graduate high school, try college out. If you are in college, find your own place there. Meet new people, gain experience, learn and have fun. College is great and more people should be experiencing it for themselves.

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.
