An Open Letter To College Freshman
Giphy

Look at you! You have almost made it through your first semester of college! The first hurdle is almost here! Once you make it past this milestone the rest of college will just fly by! It feels like just yesterday I was a freshman moving in and I was terrified about being away from home and away from my family. Here I am now two years later and I am in my second year of college and I am happier than ever! You may be stressed now, but trust me it does get better and it is worth it! I may not seem like it now, it may seem better to just drop out and become a stripper or something, but that is NEVER the solution! Life always has to throw you a couple of curve balls to keep things interesting or it would be the same every day and that would get very boring.

Finals week as a freshman in college can seem like a lot, but you are not alone. The upperclassmen are just as stressed and just as freaked as you are! They are probably in a worse place then you because they have junior and senior seminar presentations to think about on top of tests for other classes they are taking! Never hesitate to ask for help if you need it, go see a tutor, go talk to the professor (that could always be the difference in your grade being a B or an A at the end of the semester), do whatever you can to get the good grade (within reason).

Now if you are one of those lucky freshman who are coming into college with some experience of college courses already you are ahead of the game! You would be amazing and help out your fellow classmates in the process of finals week and help them understand a good way of how to study or how to plan their schedules for that week or something. Anything that helps your fellow classmates and could possibly help you would be amazing!


GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ON FINALS IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR!

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.
