Going Into My Second Year Of College
Kaitlyn Craig

This week, I will be going into my second year of college. I have grown so much over the past year and I have learned how this thing called college works.

Last year was a learning year. I learned new things about "adulting." I learned how college works, and I learned how the life of retail is. My relationship with my boyfriend got stronger this past year due to the distance between us and learning how to work things out. Going into my second year of college, I want to learn more new things and grow more as a person.

This year will be crazy with classes, work and just life itself. I am hoping that this year will be a year full of new opportunities and good changes.

This year, I am going to try my best and stay organized. I always say this every year and accomplish my goal for about two weeks of classes, but this year, my goal is to be organized all year long. We shall see how it goes!

I am going to be majoring in early childhood education. Along with the degree, comes a lot of hours in a classroom. This year I will be taking a class where I have to spend 32 hours inside a classroom setting within the semester. By having a class that is hands on, I will get a taste of what it will be like to be a teacher. I am really excited for all the lessons I will learn during that time!

I have recently quit the job I had last year and I have gotten a new job. I am still learning the ropes and learning new things everyday. My new job is different than my old retail job. I cannot wait to see where my new job will take me in the future.

This semester I will be talking American Sign Language as well. I have always been in awe at the people that can sign. Signing is an art. I cannot wait to learn a different language and learn about the deaf culture. I am hoping by learning a different language I will be able to talk to different people and experience different and new opportunities.

I want this year to be full of great memories and new opportunities. I want to finish off 2016 well and start 2017 off even better than this year. I hope school will be great and I will learn new things and get closer to my goal of becoming a teacher.

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.
