My Expectations Of College

Maybe they're the same as yours now or what they were before you went to college.

My Expectations Of College
Jessica Boozel

I will start attending Shippensburg University in six months and so far I have towels, a comforter, and a big group chat full of friends also going there. I love the people that I have already met and I cannot wait to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Netflix dates with them! I also cannot wait to meet so many more people. I'm sort of awkward when it comes to meeting people for the first time, but if we both set off good vibes with each other I can be very outgoing.

As a single girl going to college I have to admit, I hope to find the person that I am going to love for the rest of my life. It's not a must on my expectations list but I do hope that it happens. The truth is most high school relationships do not work and either don't even make it to prom or end a little after graduation. I hope for a college relationship that is mature, understanding, and equal when it comes to giving each other the same amount of attention and compassion.

Another expectation is to go on more adventures. Not necessarily travel the world, but to go to different places with new people. Considering I don't go very far away from my hometown now it would be very out of my comfort zone to go on adventures more often.

Maybe this expectation isn't obvious but I know I'm not the only one that hopes to go to college and find what their career will be. I know my major and I know what I like to do in that major but I don't know what I would like to do most and what to make a career out of. That is part of the reason why I chose Ship. It has so many opportunities and I know I will come out of my four years knowing where and who I should be.

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.
