Hello, Its Nice To Be Here
Sarah G. Hays (me)

If you haven’t heard, I’m the new kid on the blog. This is my third post with Odyssey and you might be wondering, “Who is this person?” Since I haven’t introduced myself to you yet, I’ll do my best to let you know a little bit about me.

Hi, I’m Sarah. My friends call me Sarah Grace. Born and raised in the humble state of Arkansas (the Northwest corner, to be exact). I’m a senior mass communications major at Ouachita Baptist University. No, I do not know what I’ll be doing after I graduate, but thanks for asking. I hope to get a job in my field of study and I’m considering the possibility of graduate school. As for what I would study for my Master’s degree, I have not decided. I have so many ideas for post-grad life and there are so many possibilities. One of which is not marriage. I’m single and there are no current developments in that department (again, thanks for asking). I have a red SUV named Ruby and we’ve been great pals for two and a half years now. A few things I like and enjoy are photography, basketball, reading, shopping, and coffee. I like movies, too. And Mexican food. , And most importantly, I am a child of the One True King, born again at 14 years old on July 7, 2009.

Those are the basic background elements about my life. Some interesting (and perhaps little-known) facts about me would be are listed below.

1. I want to learn calligraphy.

It’s so cool and so pretty! I actually considered studying graphic design whenever I looked at colleges back in the day. I’m glad it’s somewhat related to what I study. Even if it wasn’t, I think that I’d still be interested in it.

2. I’ve not traveled west further than Oklahoma City.

This is true. Although, I’m not sure why. I mean, there’s so much out there. Like Colorado, California, and Alaska. I’ve heard that Phoenix is pretty cool, too. They’re all just so far away. Any popular attractions that I should know about way out west? Let me know in the comments.

3. I’ve never been to the East Coast.

Just like the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything, “And I’ve never been to Boston in the fall.” y of the rich historic atmosphere in those areas. New York has recently been added to my travel list. It’s mainly because there’s a new Broadway musical based on my favorite childhood movie, but there are lots of other cool things I could find to do.

4. I’m a transfer student.

The first year and a half of my college career was spent at Pensacola Christian College and I would not trade that experience for anything. Two popular questions I get are, “Oh, where’s that?” and “Why did you leave Florida to come back to Arkansas?”

5. I’m gluten-intolerant.

It’s like an allergy, but not exactly the same. The prominent difference is that I won’t go into anaphylactic shock when exposed to gluten. It basically means that I cannot eat anything that contains wheat or wheat flour. It usually gives me a headache or a stomach ache or just causes me to not feel well in general.

That’s about the summary of my life. I’d like to get to know you, too. Please share your thoughts or ask some questions in the comments. If you have a blog, follow me or copy the link so I can get to know you, as well.

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.
