To All The Incoming College Freshmen, Everything Is Going To Be Just Fine

Hey you, stop worrying! I know that it is right around the corner and that everything seems like it's coming at you at light speed. But it is okay, everything is happening how it needs to, in the time it needs to happen. Worrying about what's to come is okay and normal, but also there's no need to fret! You're going to do great in school.

That Doesn't mean there won't be bumps in the road.

College is going to be a blast, but it will also be one of the most taxing things you have done so far. It takes work, effort, tears, and stress to get through it. You will miss your parents, you will miss your dog, you will even miss the amount of homework you had in high school. But it will all be worth it because college is one of the most rewarding experiences you will have.


You're going to make so many friends.

Megan Carmen

...Some of them may be your roommates.


You're going to do so many new things.

Megan Carmen

...Like taking a best friend to a hockey game.


You're going to have some rough days.

Megan Carmen

...Like ending up in the hospital away from your parents.


But through all the ups and downs, stick through it. Persevere. Stay strong and true to yourself, because at the end of the day you will be SO proud of what you have accomplished when you look back. You have your own back, and you know what's best for you and how to take care of yourself.

Advocate for you.

Most Important of all, have fun. The golden rule for all things applies in college as well. Have a blast and take every experience head-on. Stop stressing about what if's and maybes and start anticipating all of the awesome memories you'll have in college. You've got this!

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.
