My first few weeks at Fordham University as a transfer & a commuter student.

So we are about 3 weeks in to the fall semester at Fordham, and it feels like time is moving faster than ever, so it felt appropriate now to write about my experience. On my first day of school, I felt the pressure already, it was the FIRST day, the commute from Rockland County to the Bronx and Manhattan, is annoying. on Monday and Thursday's, I have to take the coach bus to 42nd, since I have classes at Lincoln Center, then take the train or walk, most likely walk because I'm a new yorker, so it seems natural. To come to school those both days, seem like a good trip, im not too tired since I have l have classes in the evening, but then I have to come back....and that is tiresome. On Wednesday's, I have classes at Rose Hill so that commute is bus to another bus to white plains to the metro north to Fordham, sigh I am exhausted just writing that. When I get to school, all my classes are located in Keating Hall so it is a walk from the main entrance, so Im in class sitting and trying to concentrate on what the teacher is saying because im so into it and I truly love the class but I am so damn tired from just getting to school. Moral of the story: DON'T commute unless you live 5-20 minutes away, like i used to when i lived in the Bronx but at that time I was in community college, not Fordham, so now my only hope is that I somehow get scholarship for dorming for the spring semester and so on.

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.
