It Is Okay To Be Lost In College Because You're Not Alone

After all, aren't we all a little lost?

In college, it is common for people to think that you have a definite plan. That is the point of college, after all. However, it is okay to be in college and to be lost. Not everyone completely finds themselves in high school.

There simply isn't a set time for when people know exactly which path to be on. Things change every second of every day, so plans are constantly changing. Being lost happens countless times in a lifetime. If you feel as though you have to have it all together, then don't.

There may be a time where you want to change your major or even just drop out of college totally. You're not alone. The best thing to do is to take a deep breath and find someone to help guide you. College is an overwhelming time. The pressure to be the best and to be the quickest one to graduate can get to anyone. But it's no contest, it is completely okay to be lost and to doubt your plan.

If you already set a concrete plan for yourself, it doesn't mean it's the one you have to abide by. Take a bit of time to catch your breath. You could even embrace the fact that you're lost and use that time for clearing your head.

Just remember that plans can change. If you don't have one at the very moment, then make another one that is best for yourself. Don't rush into anything. Find who you are and what you are meant to do. Find another trail in your life if the one you were currently on disappeared.

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.
