So You Have One Semester Left in Rochester?
Emily Moore

You are officially a second-semester senior, congratulations!

You may have studied (or partied) your heart out during your first three years as a college student but you may have missed out on experiencing all the fun places outside of your school's campus. With one semester left and a bunch of friends you want to make the most out of your time with, why not go experience the local area and culture before it is too late?

Here's a list of 17 places you should make it your goal to visit before you cross the stage in the end of May.

1. Letchworth State Park

2. Mount Hope Cemetery

3. Rochester's East End

4. Seneca Park Zoo

5. Cobbs Hill Park

6. Genesee Valley Park

7. High Falls

8. Seabreeze Amusement Park

9. The Little Theatre

10. Chimney Bluffs State Park

11. Frontier Field

12. Good Luck Restaurant

13. The Strong Museum of Play

14. Mendon Ponds Park

15. Scottsville Animal Shelter

16. Rochester Abandoned Subway

17. Catch the sunset at Braddock Bay Marina

So what are you waiting for? This semester is your last chance to make your time in Rochester the best it can possibly be. I challenge you to cross off as many of these places from your list and to have an amazing final semester in Rochester.

P.S. If you want to travel a little further and go on an adventure you should definitely see Niagara Falls before you graduate too!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
