How My Feelings And Thoughts About High School Changed As A College Student

As a college student, I learned that high school friendships, relationships, and feelings do not last long.

I am currently doing my fifth year in college. It has been four years since I graduated from high school. As the years go by after high school, my feelings and thoughts about high school changes. I do not see any of my classmates and friends every day. Some days, I forget about them because I am too focused and busy lately. As a college student, I learned that high school friendships, relationships, and feelings do not last long.

I meet new people. I learn new things. I do not look at social media every day as I used to. I see that not everybody from high school is active on social media as they were in high school. Some high school students unfollowed or unfriended me on social media. Some friends do not stay in contact with me as they usually do in high school. I do not think about my crush as I did every day when I was a high schooler. I do not listen to music in my headphones anymore because I do not want to daydream anymore as I used to when I was a high schooler.

I started realizing what was wrong during my time as a high school student. I do not want to go back to who I used to be during high school. I realized that life is better than it was when I was a high schooler. However, at the same time, life is not as exciting as it was during my times in high school. All I can say is that I rather stay where I am at this time.

Not seeing my high school classmates and friends makes me not only nostalgic but also relieved. I am very sure that everybody from high school feels the same way.

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.
