Your attitude is what needs to change

Everyone thinks that college sucks, but what really sucks is everyone’s attitude who is in college. You go to college to get an education, so if you hate school so much then why are you even here? If you can’t stand to be away from your mom then why did you move four hours away from her?

Why did you come to college if you hate it so much? And if you really can't stand this town, then why do you keep coming back? Why did you even apply for your program if you said it is hell on day one? Everyone needs to do some self reflection before they decide if they want to even go to college in the first place and how far away you want to move.

People are so caught up with comparing themselves to one another. And if that is what your main priority is then you are never going to be happy. College is a time to move away, become independent and find yourself. But being in with the wrong group of friends won’t help you do this. You need friends who will inspire you, support you, and lift you up. Not friends who tell you who you can and can’t be friends with and only choose to support you when it benefits them.

We could all use some

positivity in our lives, and it starts with us. If you are waiting for others to be positive while you still have a negative outlook of life, then it's not going to change

So I encourage you all to find the #Positivity in everyday, and see how much your attitude changes, and then see how much better your day is.

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.
