My experience of two fall semesters

My experience here at Florida Southern thus far has been pretty incredible. Coming into college I was afraid of being an independent and doing things on my own, but it was a blessing in disguise in all honesty. Now that I look back at my freshman year, the one thing that was different than today however was my effort put forth during the fall semester.

My freshman year coming in I really didn’t have a routine or priorities because all my life there was a specific routine I lived by while I was at home. I really didn't know any time management skills and I didn't know any basic things. It got to the point where my grades really suffered due to the lack of care I had at the time about my grades. Due to the lack of time management I had my grades went really down and I had work really hard in the Spring to get it back up. That is all different this time around.

This fall semester starting out I knew I had to work hard to maintain my 3.2 GPA that I got up last Spring. I was able to pick up my first internship and so far my grades are better then what they were during the midterm grades last fall. I knew that this coming fall was going to be difficult because I picked up some classes that are notorious for being pretty rigorous such as Accounting and Nutrition. However, thus far I have found these classes to be very interesting and fascinating in their own aspects being my passion for nutrition and I need accounting to one day hopefully own my own business.

This fall semester for me has been a blessing in disguise I have been able to work hard and really feel what it is like to maintain something very good. If this is what my two fall semesters have been like thus far I cant wait to see what next Spring holds.

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.
