Dear Past Semester, My Heart And GPA Will Recover

Let me tell you, this semester I gained more than school knowledge. I learned much more about myself than I thought I ever would.

Dear Past Semester, My Heart And GPA Will Recover

Last semester, I dropped one class and got a C in another. That stopped me from getting into the nutrition program that I sought after. I pledged that this semester I would work harder than ever before to get into that program. The class I retook was rough at first because I would often get flashbacks of what the class used to be for me aka Satan's Den. But once I got the hang of things, going to SI, Aplus, and class day after day, I didn't give up. I'm hoping that my hard work pays off for that class.

The class I retook, I just realized that the professor made the class more difficult than it initially should be. I worked as hard if not twice as hard to get the grade I desired. The matter of the fact was it was a mentality thing as well. I was not in a good place, to begin with, last semester. I was very worried at the beginning of the semester that having a boyfriend would hinder me from my studies. But I soon realized that he's one of my biggest fans. He studies with me every single day so that I'm able to continue growing. In a way, we water each other's garden so that we're able to prosper and grow. If it weren't for him and a select few, I wouldn't have been able to make it through this semester.

As the semester came to an end, I still struggled to study but it was a bit easier than the year before. I only hope that when the grades come out, I did better than the semester before because I only want to grow. I'm looking forward to the next semester and hoping that it will only be better than before.

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.
