A Semester You Would Not Forget

Improving Yourself Next Semester

What do you want to do with your next semester? Improve your grades, interact with more people, talk to professors about doing research with them over the break or during the semester? This semester is your time to become someone who can change the future rather than stay the same and not do anything. Grades will reflect what you can do as a full-time student in college and balance out other things that have to be dealt with. I want people to improve their lives by having a mindset to stay focused in college and helping others to do their best when it comes to academics. I want to improve myself next semester by continuing to give back to the Oswego community in any way possible and network with others that I have not been able to yet. Helping the community will give positivity to your life and slightly eliminate the stress that work has caused. Spring semester is not an easy semester, as there are minimum breaks and work accumulates quickly. When April hits people start to get lazy and it takes a toll on the effort that they put into that work submitted.

A new semester means new goals and different aspects on what curriculums you will be learning to master. Improving yourself as a person with a humble mindset and chasing a goal you set, really will depict what type of person you want to be this semester. Friends who help you through the struggles you are facing can really portray how your semester can become too. College semesters are stressful and it's up to you to face the obstacles getting thrown at you. Everyone should have a plan when starting a new semester or college in general and that is to never slack no matter what comes your way. Excuses is a no-no in college and can change your whole perspective for who you become in the future. This semester set for the highest GPA and do not look back on what you did in the past, but what you are capable of doing for the present. In College, you want to grow so this is the semester to show others that thought down of you that you are focused.

The message for this article is a new semester, means new goals, better GPA, and shaping yourself to be a better person than you may have been already. "Actions speak louder than words" and commit those actions to prove others wrong. When stress comes across, make it because to beat it will make you even stronger. College is all about seeking that one career you want in the future and extra necessities come with that. Don't stress yourself guys, just progress yourself.

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.
