From being 20 to 21 My Thoughts
Sara Schmidt

As this month is coming to an end. I am realizing that I won't be 20 years old anymore. Next month on August 7 I will be a legal adult. People often think that once someone hits 21 years old that their life will change dramatically from a non-partier to being one and going out and partying! Well not to be a party pooper but even though I am turning 21 and being of age to drink...I am not changing my life. I may try a drink here and there but obviously it will be at home or at a restaurant and be with my family or my of age friends and have a chauffeur. I am not moving, I am still going to be living at home and going to college. Nothing dramatically will change, I will still have my same old group of best friends. I will still be the person who I was at 20. My feelings towards guys will still be the same. My religion won't change I will still be a catholic girl. My love for photography will only grow more. I will still be going the general business route for college. Lastly, hanging out with my parents will never get old, being with them, helping them and seeing them happy will always be something I treasure no matter what age I am.

What I plan on getting done when I am 21 is first obtaining my driver's licence. When your parents have different rules on driving then other family's rules this is what happens. I also plan on finding a job and get my photography out there. I plan on obtaining a retail business photographer licence. I am planning to help my parents out more especially my dad who is fighting cancer. Lastly, I plan on adventuring to new places and doing new things.

What I hope for when I am 21 is I hope to be a young adult with a job as well as a photographer for RI. I hope to explore RI more and be able to drive and be photographing people, events, weddings, and lifestyle. I hope to get honor roll in college and make the dean's list. I hope to save money and only buy what I need and hope to treat my siblings and parents with the money I earn. I hope to create more friends. I hope to learn how to cook more things and to help my parents out with cooking or making food.

When I turn 21, there is some things that I won't change I won't be changing my hair color that is for sure...no dramatic hair color for me. I will not get a tattoo or any piercings. I am not going to smoke. Also I am not changing my views on life or my attitude. I am always going to be the same person that I am every year. Lastly, I hope to play soccer again whether it is with friends or with a young adult recreational group.

To conclude, even though I am turning 21 the person who I was at age 20 will still be in the person who is turning 21. I will not be a crazy 21 year old college student. I will be the non party girl, the one who's in the books not at a party wasting the night away.

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.
