Passions Are Discovered

Following Your Passions


Do you know what it is like doing something that you love? Is it something you always dreamed of? Having passions for things is similar to eating a piece of cake or having a bowl of delicious ice cream. You feel satisfaction and pleasure. It makes you feel happy and accomplished at once.

Ever since I came to Hanover College, I have signed up for Theatre, which I have a huge interest in. I am in the Theatre Club, the Theatre Tech group, and I have also signed up for the Student Broadcasting Association, which works with broadcasting and journalism. These two things I have tremendous interest in. I have been working for Theatre and I am taking an introductory course in Theatre. So far, I am enjoying reading the plays in class and analyzing them for depth, while talking about the stage development in the play as well.

I plan to work with Communications and Theatre courses so that I can have Communications as my major and Theatre as my minor. I find myself excited to go to Theatre class Tuesdays and Thursdays. I look forward to each session and what I will learn that day. I am more happy than what I was in high school. I did Communications work in high school that I did enjoy. I was on the student newspaper organization for my school, while interning for my town's newspaper, giving me experience outside the school. I have planned to major in Communications for a while now and Theatre seemed intriguing to me, because I am a huge Shakespeare fan.

There is an tremendous opportunity for me in my freshmen year. There is an upcoming trip to England to see the Shakespeare Company and I will have a chance to listen to Shakespeare lectures. I have never been outside the U.S. in my whole life. That sounds like an adventure of a lifetime for me. It makes me very excited that I have an opportunity like this in my grasp. I love Shakespeare's work and I can meet other people who share the same opinions of mine. This is what happens when you follow your dreams and do what you want to do. Life gives you splendid opportunities to go beyond than just working the job you love. You can expand your horizons and learn more within the field. You will find yourself enjoying it even more.

Following your dreams is a big deal. Can you imagine finding yourself a job that you do not want and you are stuck with it? I cannot. That is why it is important that you find yourself a job with a passion in your heart that tells you 'this is what you want to do.' And you will be sure that it is indeed what you want to do. You will lead a life of true passion, happiness, and pleasure if you find something you have been waiting for for a very long time.

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.
