My Goals For College: Round Two

Woah. People really don't mess around when they say summer goes by fast!

As the August humidity permeates the air around me, all I can hear and talk about lately is the anticipation of a new school year starting. After a pretty successful, yet busy, freshman year at Longwood University, I am mentally steady and all packed for my sophomore year as a college student.

My goals for this year not only involve my school work but staying active in the social aspect as well!

Thankfully the attitude of Lancers is contagious in the sense that everyone is quick to miss our ever-growing campus during summer break. While some may be the type to drag their feet back to a fresh school year, I am glad to say that I find myself somewhere in between now.

Now for those who don't know me, I am far more of a summer-loving gal than one who jumps at the idea of the pumpkin haze of fall. With that in mind, I prefer to focus on the college campus I have come to know as my real home away from home.

Throughout my first year, I worried so much about how my grades would turn out, so I made sure I figured out how, where, and when I did my best studying. Now that I am comfortable with my own studying habits (for the most part), I want to be more involved with campus life and maybe join another club or two.

What I want to gain from this next school year at Longwood goes beyond maintaining good grades. I also want to continue with general self-improvements that I have started this summer such as exercising and staying fairly organized with everything I have to keep up with.

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.
