In life, there are people who come into your life and there are people who leave, that’s a fact we all know to be true. I have noticed recently a trend of talking about the people who leave on social media - and while this is empowering, I feel that the people who come into your life and rock your world need to be highlighted, too.

College is an especially great time to focus on this because it can sometimes feel as though you meet someone new every single day. Some of these people are better for you than others, but the ones who are good for you seem to be the greatest people you will ever meet.

This year I have had the joy of being an Assistant Director in my organization and it has been the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I have done. We have 90 freshmen that all of us AD’s and execs are in charge of and let me tell you, they are one of the greatest groups of 90 people I have met.

We had our Winter Celebration last night and it was so rewarding to get to love on them and celebrate all of their hard work they have done this semester. Last night was a night where I was “in my feelings” because I realized I only had one more semester with these guys, but I am forever grateful for such an incredible first semester.

The freshmen in my organization are some of those people who feel like the greatest people you will ever meet. Each and every one of them is so diverse in their thoughts, feelings, senses of humor, almost every aspect about them; however, they are all bound together based on their compassion, empathy, leadership, and selfless, servant's hearts.

In this lifetime, countless people will waltz into your life and perhaps double that will walk out of your life - that’s why, when you encounter people like the 90 freshmen in MSC FISH this year, you should squeeze them around the neck and shower them in love whenever you get the chance. To all of the freshmen, you are life changers. I love you guys and I am so proud of you.

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.
