Something I Know I Need To Hear

It's Okay To Change Your Life Plan
google

Since I was a little kid, I knew deep down I wanted to be a teacher. I wanted to teach high school and maybe even be a principal one day. But that changed this year.

While working as an RA on my campus and being a member of the Regional Board of Directors of NEACURH and found a new passion for Student Affairs. And now, I have been questioning my whole future and my life basically.

So what do I do now? That was my first question to my parents; would they support me if I changed my life plan? Short answer, they did, as long as I did my research and tried my best. That was some relief. But still, my whole life has been determined to make a difference in high schoolers life and teach history to students. And now, I don't know what I want to do.

Growing up, I thought at age 20 I needed to have my whole life figured out, so it is weird to me that I am here. That being said, I have come to accept that it is okay. At this age in my life, I know that it is okay if I don't know what I want to do with my life. Life has a weird way of playing out, and things not going as planned, is normal.

So right now, who knows what I will be doing when it comes for a year, but I will be applying for grad school for both Student Affair and Special Education. But it's okay to not know what exactly is going to happen in a year. It's okay to wait and take some time to figure out what you want.


Basically, it's okay to not have your life planned, it's okay to change your path in life.

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.
