A Look Into My First Semester Of College: Part 2

Taking Philosophy was not the best idea. As soon as the class started, I'd get very confused and the readings frustrated me. I am a very logical thinker - there always has to be a definite answer for every problem. Pondering on thoughts annoyed me and made me agitated. So that was my first mistake in college.

Other than that my first week, it went great. I liked my classes, I started making some friends, and I was happy.

During the first week of college, there is little to do, at least at UCF. But on Friday, there was going to be a rave and I planned to meet one of my "internet" friends (I met her on the page to meet incoming freshman and we texted) there. So Friday comes around and I take the shuttle to her and meet both her and her roommate. We all automatically clicked and before you know, I was over at their dorm every day.

That was my luck because my main worry was: "What if I don't make friends?" I was so so so happy with everything going on. I attended tailgates, went clubbing, and also attended sporting events. Tailgates were very fun - waking up and getting ready was my favorite part. My first ever tailgate I wore a shirt I made the night before, and it actually turned out pretty good. I cut a gray T-shirt into a tube top and some black shorts. Getting ready was the fun part.

The day before, my friend and I went to a store to buy some black and gold (Go Knights) accessories. So we bought stickers, lipstick, and even necklaces. The next day we added everything we bought - we truly went all out. It was amazing to see everyone decked out in their UCF gear ready to cheer our team on!

However, weeks passed and I began having fights with my friend - frequent fights, and about little things. Many people say that you're never best friends with your roommate, but that's not true. Though we did encounter many fights, we are closer than ever now. We are even living together next year. Classes weren't that difficult, and honestly, if you prepare, you will do well.

As for friends, you will always find your group, but be patient and don't force anything. College is so much fun and there are so many things to experience.

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.
