Finding Peace In Life’s Plan

When things just seem so busy.

I am that person who loves having plans. I love knowing exactly what will be happening in my life for the next month ahead, because as long as I am busy and using my time wisely—I am happy. I often find that with college, this ability somehow diminishes and I do not always know what life has in store for me

As every semester hands me an even busier schedule, this often brings more uncertainty on the path I am on, as there is simply no time to make any set plans. As these plans are what I often strive for, life sometimes feels very discombobulated, and lately, it has been feeling like this more-so than usual.

There is about a month of classes left of the fall semester, which is absolutely crazy to process as I feel like school just started. As I got off the plane from Japan at the end of this past summer, I was quickly back in school, traveling back and forth to NYC for fashion shows, and the Macy's Day Parade is almost here.

Aside from these events, I have not had much time to set any other plans, so aside from these few things that have been set into my schedule, I've just had to let life do its thing.

When life continues on its crazy path of providing me with a very busy schedule, I just have to learn to accept that life has its plan. Often times, I continuously fall into the pattern of putting a deadline on very, very large accomplishments that I think are somehow achievable within a months time.

Yes, I would absolutely love for these things to happen, but when they don't work out, being able to accept the fact that it simply was not in my life's plan for this time is what I need to remember to do.

Rather than being discouraged on not being able to accomplish everything I want to at the time, or not being able to attend every event that my busy schedule does not allow me to go to, I need to learn to accept the fact that I am doing the best I can. And that is how I am learning to find peace in life's plan.

It's a journey—but I am definitely learning along the way.

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.
