I'm an Elderly Sophomore

I am officially a college student who is too tired to go crazy

I'm an Elderly Sophomore
msecnd.net

I remember the beginning of my freshman year like it was yesterday; it was a mess, but it was great. Last year I could stay up until 4 in the morning, and still get up in time for my 8:55 class with no problems. Okay, I only stayed up until 4 one time, don't worry mom. I was basically invincible, and was expecting to be the same was for my sophomore year. Nope

I don't know how three months of summer break turned me into an old lady, but I feel like I am happily retired elderly woman. Seriously, yesterday I yelled at kids outside my window for being too loud, and the worst part was they were on a field trip. I also think my knees might be going, so maybe I'll get a cane.

In all honesty, I think it is because maybe I have matured a little over the past year. Yeah, your freshman year is great with parties and finally feeling freedom. I'm over it now. So very much over it. I can totally still go to a frat party every once in a while, but I used to go to maybe all three of our frats in a single night last year. Now, you couldn't pay me to make a trek to one, like why would I want to be in a small room and have to pretend to know how to dance? Maybe you could pay me... maybe. I would rather stay in a dorm and hang out with a few people. I know some other people are feeling this too: because my over the top party friend, didn't go out this Friday. That shook me to my core. It's not just me turning into an old lady, it's all of us. I think freshman me would slap sophomore me.

Even right now, it's 10 o'clock on a Friday night, and I am writing this instead of going to a party...

But, I think I prefer being a mild mannered sophomore to an over-the-top oblivious freshman.

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.
