I Teared Up As My Baby Brother Got His First College Acceptance And Wish The Same For All High School Seniors

My brother, Esteban, is a senior in high school and is patiently waiting for his college acceptances, just like all seniors in high school around the world. Esteban is really smart and studies very hard. He spends so much time playing video games, so I am confused as to how he gets a 4.0+ GPA each semester. He wants to study Civil Engineering, which he is smart enough to do. I'm studying Environmental Engineering so we got a bunch of smarties in our family. Esteban wants to go to USC or UCLA. I know for sure that he is going to get into those schools.

A student getting his or her first college acceptance is really exciting! Once you read that letter, you stop worrying because you now know you will for sure go to college. My brother recently received that letter. He opened it and guess what? He got accepted into San Diego State University! Lately, it's been getting hard to get into SDSU because everybody wants to come to San Diego. But he received it in January? SDSU must really want him. I am so proud of him because he has done so much to reach this far. I'm excited because I also go to SDSU and it's happy to imagine my brother and I going to the same school. Obviously, if he gets into his dream school then he will attend that one but it doesn't hurt to imagine.

There are so many high school seniors getting their first college acceptance letters and all of them must be really happy and ecstatic. Of course, there will be acceptances and denials. Those denials are going to suck, but everything happens for a reason. You might not be happy at first but think about the positives. You got accepted into a university. Isn't that great?

If you haven't received your first college acceptance letter, it's okay. It's only January. Most students don't get their letters until March. So wait because you have time. Take this time to focus on school. It's your last semester as a high school senior. You will never have another semester in high school. Enjoy the happy moments with your friends because trust me, everything is going to be okay. You will get into college. I promise.

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.
