High School Vs. College

Just embrace the change!

High School Vs. College
Townson English Language Center

Everyone tells you that college is so much different than high school, and it really is. They hound you about learning to be responsible since you will be on your own. They remind you that you better go to class because the teachers really do not care if you show up or not. There are many changes you're reminded about before starting college. However, there are some things that all college students do or go through that you were never told about before college.

Wearing pajamas to class

High school: "Yayyyy! It's homecoming week! I'm going to wear my cutest onesie."

College: I'm pretty sure no one ever dresses up for 8 AM classes. We all just roll out of bed and head to class not caring at all what we look like and not even trying to fix our make up or hair.

When someone skips class

High School: "Oh my gosh, they are skipping. I bet they are going to get into so much trouble if the teachers finds out!"

College: Literally no one cares at all. The teachers get paid no matter what.

Grades

High School: "I need to study really hard and make sure I have an A in every class I'm taking. I really need a 4.0."

College: "C's get degrees! Sleep is more important."

Falling asleep in class or around school

High School: "Oh my gosh, she's asleep. Let's take a picture of her to embarrass her!"

College: I am almost positive that college students can sleep anywhere that want and not care at all who sees them.


There's a chance that throughout college you will do or see all of these. It happens to the best of us.

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.
