A Series Of Self Reflections: Part 1

Questions about freewill have come up in the past few months.

A Series Of Self Reflections: Part 1

In such a short amount of time, I reflected on so much. I took time out of my days just to reflect on what I had occurred in the past 24 hours. My favorite places to mask out the world with the use of music was either on the steps of Francis hall, on a nice bench, or at a picnic table in Angelica Park. This became my favorite pastime, especially during this semester. Therefore, I have thought that it would be a nice idea to do a series of interpretations throughout the few upcoming weeks.

Part 1: Here is a question for everyone. What does free will mean to you? Remember we do have rules within society. As my professor said in class, however, rules are meant to be broken.

Part 2: With rules already set in place for you, how might you go about testing society's limits and yours? This is where free will comes into play. My definition of the term Freewill is that we live in a society of limitless dreams and endless possibilities.

Part 3: My definition is not supposed to scare you. It states that no dream is too big and anything is possible throughout life. Life is meant to be scary but this should not stop you. I know that you cannot predict what will happen within the next chapter of your life, but that is okay.

Side Note: I drastically changed my academic plan by dropping a major. It is funny how you can make a decision so quickly and change routes. However, I felt that I needed to experience certain curriculum in the past year to understand where my heart was at.

In conclusion, your life can get away from you where you might have to recheck yourself. It can also change direction. Whatever the case might be, acting upon reflection and incorporating the acknowledgment of free will into your life is a must.

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.
