On Our Last First Day

As we approach each last I challenge everyone to view it as approaching the start of something new and exciting and going where ever God's plan leads you.

On Our Last First Day
Kelsey Trimble

We have done it countless times for many years. We wake up early with butterflies in our stomachs. We eat our breakfast, pick out an outfit, brush our teeth and maybe smile for a photo - but this is our last day of that.

Today, we have our last first day of school (unless you go to grad school). As we continue through this year we will run into more and more lasts. The last football game, our last set of finals, last holiday break, and so many more lasts. I owe so much to every teacher and every school and everything I have learned will come with me when time as the student ends.

My suggestion to all college seniors is to not look at all of the lists that we will be having. In our world today we tend to focus on the negatives and let the good things go right by us. But why? This year I am going to look back on these last few years and see how much I have grown, how much I have changed, and how much I have learned.

As we approach each last I challenge everyone to view it as approaching the start of something new and exciting and going where ever God's plan leads you.

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.
