4 Things I Wish I Would Have Done In College

It's been a few days since I've graduated college, and I can't help but to think about what I wish I would have done during my years in school. I know I can't possibly be the only one who's reflecting back so here are the four things I wish I would have done while in college

1. Joined a sorority

In the beginning, I always told myself that I wouldn't want to join one. I didn't believe in hazing or the idea of "paying for friends." I thought to myself, "Eh, I know how to make friends, people love me!" But, I know now that it would've changed my entire college experience as a whole. I would've had a group of ladies with me in my life forever.

2. Been more active in clubs

Clubs are a great way to meet new people, make friends and connections. If I would've joined more clubs, I would have been more involved with campus life, which I really wasn't. Clubs will keep you busy. I have those days where I was glad to come home after a long day filled with classes. Other times, I wish I had something to do.



3. Took a language class

In high school it was required to take Spanish. I did really well in Spanish, it was actually one of my favorite classes because I understood it so well. When you go to college, there are so many electives and GE's to choose from. We get the choice of picking whatever classes we want. It's so beneficial to be able to speak different languages. My Spanish speaking skills could be way better than they are now if I decided to take a class or two. Or even a French class. That would have been cool.



4. Studied abroad

This one is pretty self explanatory. Whether to go to another school in the states or internationally traveled, not studying abroad definitely is a huge regret for me. There is so much out there that I have yet to see. Travelling is so fun and I know it could have made my college years so much better. My friends that did study abroad loved it and I can't lie and say that I was jealous.

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.
