Have Fun Freshmen Year!

There are two types of people, the people who say "high school is the best years of your life," or the people who say "college is the best years of your life."

Honestly high school usually sucks for many people, so why make college suck for you too?

The college experience will not be better if you are not willing to give something new a chance. My goal is to make the most out of college. Here's how:

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

This is very cliche but very truthful. I was a very timid girl in high school. My shyness prevented me from a lot of opportunities. That is honestly my biggest regret of high school. Step out of your comfort zone, if you do not like trying new food, just try one new food a month. If you do not like being seen in public so you only wear t-shirts an jeans, put on a nice shirt. Small changes make a big finish.

Experiment

Try new things. Adventure out. Find yourself. Be who you want to be.

Smile More

Yes, this is cheesy to but smile. If you're not smiling then you are doing wrong. Look nice, look happy. I know not everyone is a morning person nor is everyone a late night person but usually if you smile you look much kinder and people will talk to you over someone who is in natural face.

(But do not do a creeper's smile, then you will scare people. Haha!)

Be Confident

Walk with you head held high. Walk with energy. If you mess up, mess up big.

Be True to Yourself

Yes, step out of your comfort zone, go experiment, smile, show confidence but if you do not feel completely ready to change everything then don't. Small steps do a lot. Maybe just work on one thing. You have 4 years. You got this.

If you are stuck in college for 4 years, you might as well make the most of 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.
