Thank you for being an inspiration.

To My Favorite College Professor In My First Semester Of College
Georgia Tech

Thank you. That’s all I can think to say right now. Thank you for never failing to push me these past few months. Thank you for making me stretch my mind. Thank you for making me more interested in a field and career that I already wanted to pursue. Thank you for making every debate, discussion and lecture truly one that I was interested in. Thank you for making your class the one that I looked forward to every week and the only one that I was actually interested in studying for.

The first day of class you intimidated me with your designer clothes, years of in-depth experience and your tendency to speak a mile a minute.

Your class wasn’t easy. That’s something I can say easily. Your assignments and tests challenged us, pushing us to become better students and apply our knowledge rather than just memorize facts and figures.

You were incredibly charismatic. Every example you gave in class was relevant and something that people our age could understand. You made sense, which in my few short months at college is a skill I noticed many professors lacking.

When I went through tough times in the semester, you didn’t leave me behind in the work that I missed during the days I couldn’t come to class. You sat with me and went through each and every thing that I had missed, understanding the situation that I was in.

I will truly hold every professor I have from now on to the standard that you set. You make me want to be a better student. You make me want to put in the effort to have the career you did. You inspire me to reach my goals and aspire to be the best.

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.
