Dare To Be Different

"If you want something you've never had, you've got to do something you've never done." -Thomas Jefferson

Dare To Be Different
Fix Willpower

Things are changing and people are making plans to leave. Change your life and make your plans go where you want. Go somewhere different than the crowd.

As Robert Frost once wrote, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

It's okay not to want the same thing as everyone else. You just spent four years with all of your classmates, why would you want to spend four more years with the same people? You may love these people, but imagine how many other people are out there for you to love! Grow up and go your own way. Make your own story. Create the life that YOU want, not the life that someone else wants you to have. It can be scary, but I promise you it is worth it. Have faith that you can do all things.

Going away to college can be very scary because EVERYTHING is new. You move to a new state, into a new room, with a new person. That is also extremely exciting! You have been given the opportunity to experience all of these new things! Take that chance! You can always go home, but find your new home!

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.
