For The College Student Faced With New Beginnings
Catherine Linnihan

We all start with new beginnings during some parts of our lives. Whether that be a major milestone in life, a different routine, a new job, a new lifestyle, or just making new friends.

All of these things have to do with new beginnings. When you decide to get a degree in a certain field, when you decide to get involved in church, clubs, and tribes, you are creating a new beginning in your life.

Something new seems to happen almost every day in my life or for me at least with me. When you decide to do something different or new, you should be happy about it and not sad or mad!

You are the one deciding if a certain thing is a good or a bad decision. For most of the time, decisions make an impact on your life regardless of how big the decision is. Some decisions you will look back on for a long time in your life.

Sometimes new beginnings is a meaning of being refreshed or just starting new with certain things in life.

For example, when you accept Jesus as your Savior, you are made new in Christ's image and you are cleaned or washed away from your sins. Jesus makes us new and we can have a fresh new beginning in life when we live for Him.

So, whenever you feel like you are taking a big leap of faith in your life to begin something new, like going to college, getting a job, getting married, and other things; just remember that is a new beginning. Sometimes it doesn't feel like that, but it is in reality. New beginnings are fun and can adventurous sometimes, but most times they are good, even though sometimes it can get scary with the going into something new!

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.
