My Second Year In College Does Not Feel Like My First Year

Something Is Different

My Second Year In College Does Not Feel Like My First Year
Tumblr

It's already my second year in college and I'm having different experiences from my first year. One, I'm feeling mature; two, my diet changed; three, my style changed. There are so many things that have changed on how I feel about certain things such as graduation, deadlines, my future and home. Any college student would tell you that college is not easy; there's the hard work and there's that roller coaster ride of emotions. But somehow this year feels different for me than my first year in college.

Regardless of what I'm going through, I still need to put all of these thoughts aside and focus on what's important: my studies specifically deadlines. But as I mentioned earlier, this year feels different as in I'm already dragging myself to finish deadlines, and to study for upcoming exams. I still don't know the reason why this year feels different and why I'm dragging myself instead of pushing myself. Is it because it's the first month back to school, or is it because it's my second year and I'm taking it easy. But either way, I need to find a way to keep up going to finish the race line (graduation).

After all, the only thing that hasn't changed from the first year is my love for this college. It still feels like I belong here. I still feel I made the best choice when I chose this college. Every day I walk on campus, I feel like this is my first time walking there being amazed at all the buildings.

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.
