Dear First Semester,

All I can say is thank you. Thank you so much. (Even though my grades are the lowest they've ever been).

I have effectively spent a whole semester here - how crazy is that? I'm almost certain I just got here. So as my first semester wraps up, I have chosen to think about the previous 15 weeks. In such a short measure of time SO much has happened; new friendships have shaped, old ones have been reinforced, lessons have been educated, experiences have been taken, recollections have been made. Furthermore, even through all the anxiety and the high points and low points, I have cherished each second of it. The trouble of the change that is made when one moves to school fluctuates from individual to individual, however the inclination can't be clarified until you encounter it direct. Fortunately I feel that I transitioned truly well. I truly appreciate the opportunity (and even the duties) that accompanies living all alone. That in itself is such an enormous developing knowledge. I have figured out how to deal with myself. Generally ;) Shortly subsequent to moving in, my flat mate and I marshaled up the certainty to welcome a few young ladies from our floor to watch the Bachelor In Paradise with us. Oh my goodness, best choice of my life! In some cases 5 seconds of crazy strength is all it takes, since we met such an unfathomable individual, to the point that we now invest all our energy with, and I express gratitude toward God for her ordinary. There are some other truly sweet young ladies that live on our floor too. Also, in studio, I have fortified with a quite incredible gathering of individuals. Individuals who rouse me ordinary, keep me spurred, and bring me grins when all I need to do is cry. School is loaded with such a variety of individuals from such a variety of various foundations, particularly for me originating from such a little secondary school. I can sincerely say that even in a matter of months, I have made some long lasting companions. New companionship's have framed.


One of the hardest parts about the move, however, was all that I needed to desert. Such a variety of stunning individuals I would never again be advantaged to see ordinary. The possibility of this unnerved me. I have heard such a variety of awfulness stories of individuals going off to school and overlooking everybody they went to secondary school with. I am fortunate to state, notwithstanding, that despite everything I converse with a large portion of my companions on an exceptionally general premise, some each and every day. We have gone to each other, and hung out over breaks, and each time we're as one it resembles we haven't thought twice. With all the online networking today, it is not hard to stay in contact with the individuals who matter. All it takes is a longing to do as such, and a little piece of exertion. "Genuine fellowship is when two individuals can stroll in various bearings, yet at the same time stay one next to the other." This can't be all the more genuine. It regards have the capacity to escape, since we as a whole need to develop and wind up as people, yet we are certain that those companions who have dependably been around, will dependably be there. Old companionship's have been fortified.

What's more, obviously, we can't discuss school without school! School is only somewhat not quite the same as secondary school. On the other hand a great deal extraordinary. No one lets you know that you must be up, nobody lets you know that you must be in class, you are not indulged, or helped to remember assignments, or advised what to do. The main individual responsible for your training is you, and you can do with it what you wish. My first lesson learned? Because I could be alert at 6 and get the opportunity to class each and every morning by 7:30 in secondary school, does not imply that the pattern with proceed into school. On the off chance that you are not a morning individual, don't take an 8 a.m. Unless it is the main time offered, don't do it. It will do you more mischief than great. What's more, for the individuals who can spring out of a quaint little in and go to class at that corrupt hour, you are honored. Credit to you. I additionally can state I have taken in a considerable measure in my plan classes. I entered this program totally dumbfounded with respect to what I would do. I can even now sincerely say that I do not understand what I'm doing! Be that as it may, I'm dealing with it. I have certainly made considerable progress since the main drawing I created, every venture has become dynamically better. Ideally the pattern proceeds! I could include such a large number of all the more, however I think I'll spare that for another post. Long story short, lessons have been educated.


Perhaps it has just involved months, yet SO much has happened. The previous couple of weeks have been so insane for me, I have practically overlooked all the extraordinary things that I have been honored with this semester. What's more, on the off chance that you imagine that it has passed by quick, it is not backing off. Appreciate each second of it, since one day it will be only a memory. So yippee for an effective first semester! Recollections have been made

So here's to the end of first semester, and here's to many more. Thanks to everyone who made it amazing!

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.
