The Adventures of Moving

There's no reason of getting stressed over things you can't control

The Adventures of Moving

I had the definition of worst weeks! School started, which is a challenge within itself, plus had to move to three different dorms, which is good because the dorms have gotten better each time. On the contrary, it's exhausting as you can imagine. The school made a mistake (like I stated in my other article), and I was supposed to have a roommate, but when I got there my alleged roommate said: "No we aren't roommates". On top of that, the room that they gave me was filthy, so I was like... "no I can't stay in this room".

The next day, the Dorm Director (who turns out to be a pretty cool guy; way better than the one last year...no shade intended), told me we'll move you into a different dorm, and you and the guy you wanted can be roommates. I agreed to it, but the other guy didn't want to move in for whatever reason, so I had a room to myself. Then I found out that the school planned on closing the dorm I had just moved into! I thought the smart move would be to go ahead and move before they "officially" made me move.

That following day, the dorm director told me about yet another new room (which I have currently), that is a single (so that means I don't have a roommate), but I do have suite mates.I like this living condition better because I don't have to go down the hall just to use the bathroom or take a shower. To add a little more to the list, I'm trying to play baseball this year and stay involved in campus activities as much as I can.

It's pretty safe to say that this has not been a pleasant week, but next week should be better and should just grow from there. I'm excited for this school year. I'm excited for what it's going to bring, and all the adventures it will take me on. Yes, it's been a bumpy start at this point, but in the words of Tupac Shakur "You Gotta Keep Ya Head Up".

Since I like to stay positive and give advice to people in need, I have to stay positive for myself, because if I didn't, there's no telling what would fall apart. I guess I've always been like this, even when I was younger. In the words of a wise man, there's no reason of getting stressed over things you can't control.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
