My First Semester as Described by Penguins

The first semester of college was described to me as being “the easiest semester you will ever take” by my relatives. Now I sit here typing this article knowing that they were all right. So what could be better than looking at my first semester as described by these gifs of penguins?

In the beginning I was excited to begin my first semester of college.

I found friends and we hung out a lot.

I was eating well, my bank account was still happy,

Then my bank account decided it wasn’t having any more of that and made me search for free food at college events.

My friends were gracious enough to feed me and take me to the dining hall even though I didn’t have a meal plan. They even let me use one of their guest passes.

Then the semester went on and classes got past the syllabus part and had me like:

My friends and I got serious and buckled down on studying, so we were at Hale often.

I cut down on those snack breaks, partially because my friends forced me to and partially because my bank account couldn’t take it anymore.

I slaughtered some pretty good tests that left me feeling very accomplished,

Even when some tests kind of slaughtered me…

But you know what? I finished this semester pretty strong.

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.
