From The Girl Who Is More Focused On School Than Getting A Boyfriend

Having a boyfriend isn't everything.

Love. It’s something that whether they want to admit it or not, everyone wants. Great things come along with it like the butterflies in your stomach when you see them, excitement from trying new things with each other, and the constant learning about one another.

College is an amazing place to meet possible significant other, especially when you’re on a big campus when so many potential people.

That being said, you’re at college for a reason and that’s to do well in your major and start a career when you graduate. I’m not saying that it’s not acceptable to have a significant other, but for me, it’s not at this moment.

Right now, I’m trying to get my GPA up major. I’m also trying to get involved with clubs and events related to my major to network with new people.

On top of that, I’m trying to sort out being able to study abroad. I also have friends that I love to spend my free time with while I can. As much as I would love someone to share my life with, I would either end up hurting my grades or him.

I’m choosing to focus on bettering myself and getting my grades where they need to be so I can be successful. This is important in the long run because in future I’ll need to support myself and possibly a family. I need a great career to be able to do the things I’ve always envisioned myself doing like traveling.

That’s not to say that if a great guy comes along, I’m going to turn him away. It’s just not my main priority at this point in time. I know that he’ll come into my life when he’s meant to. If that happens to be in college, great. If not, I’m not too bothered by it.

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.
