What better way to explain my first semester than with songs.

1. I Love College - Asher Roth 

Months leading up to college this was my song on repeat. I was excited to start a new chapter of my life and make new friends this year.

2. I Fall Apart -Post Malone 

The first couple weeks of college flew by, I felt like I was at summer camp. Endless sleepovers, and no parents. Until the weekend before my first test it all hit me. I no longer was having the time of my life. But, I was drowning in textbook readings, and essay.

3. Better -Khalid

After getting into the routines of things I began to feel more at home. And I was on top of my school work which felt like a weight off of my shoulders.

4. Mo Bamba -Sheck Wes 

The first few weekends I'm pretty sure the only song that DJs had on its queue was Mo Bamba. This song was good the first 100x.

5. DEVASTATED -Joey Bada$$

Midterms Feels. Morale is low. I still don't understand any of the content we spent the first weeks learning, i'm sleep deprived, and hungry, Devastated is the reaction that my parents had when checking my grades afterwards on My Slice.

6. Work -Iggy Azalea. 

"No money, No family, Sixteen in the middle of Miami" Basically same, Except eighteen in the middle of Syracuse.

7. Coming Home -Keith Urban 

Pre Thanksgiving Break. I was so excited to go back home and enjoy a nice meal away from the dining hall.

8. Pocketful of Sunshine -Natasha Bedingfield. 

"Take me away, A secret place, A sweet escape" After being home more than 24 hours I immediately wanted to go back to Cuse land. Somehow my parents got 100x more annoying than I remembered. They proceeded to yell at me every 5 seconds for stupid things like not cleaning my room or being out to late at night.

9. Pound the Alarm -Nicki Minaj 

Lawrinson Fire Drills. This semester I was blessed enough to have two in a row one night. One was at 4:45 am, the other at 5:33 am.

10. Mistletoe -Justin Bieber. 

Someone through some my direction. Its cuffing szn but I still haven't found anyone yet. My relationship life? A momentary low point. My excitement for Christmas ? Couldn't be any higher.

11. All the kids are depressed -Jeremy Zucker. 

Finals? Who are you. I feel like we literally just we taking midterms.

12. Free Fallin - John Mayer

Free from school work at last. Just a month of freedom to enjoy family, high school friends, and sleeping in.

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.
