St. Lawrence University: The Return

The Commencement of Year Two

St. Lawrence University: The Return

The past week has been tumultuous.

Given the Donald had (yet another) meltdown, the Olympics started, and a crazy storm rolled through my hometown, you'd think I'd write about one of those three things.

Alas, I'm not, and for good reason.

Because next week I, Matt Thibault, will be returning to college and I. Am. Stoked.

I wrote an article a few months ago where I reflected upon my first year, and that it was an awesome, novel experience for me, and I expect this year to be nothing different.

Working closely with a CBL project with some friends, living in an upperclassmen dorm, working hard, and most of all, learning. I'm so excited to learn. It's a novel experience every time, the "lightbulb moment" when you finally understand something.

Learning is a huge component of a college experience, and as an unapologetic nerd, I love the hell out of doing it.

Aside from that, I'm seeing friends again, and four of us managed to get a suite, so that will be game-changing. We'll be working with NYSARC as part of our CBL program, and we'll be doing many other projects within the Canton community.

Everything else will come together in time, and I'm super excited to head back.

Commence Year 2.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
