My Thoughts On The First Day of School As A College Student

A back to school poem.

My Thoughts On The First Day of School As A College Student

There will always be the first day, that one instance where every thing is fresh. The innocence of minds with no sense of direction, the path that commences after an end. A new cycle, a foreign pattern to conquer, straight into the oblivion that is unknown.

From the moment we were born, we have a start. As we continuously grow throughout the unknown we decipher things a part. We tear the things we mark, a crayon's soul, the creator's gifted hold, the age where no fear exists, and the little are bold.

We enter doors of learning, social concepts become a yearning, fundamental ideas take hold, through these ages lives are turning. The molds of what we know begin at this institution. The variations throughout our nation make it an "institution". But when we leave these walls and can never go back, another conclusion leads to a new first, middle schooling.

Who would've thought these days brought awkward education. I'm not talking about state examinations, but focusing on the growing pains and relations. Where becoming your own starts to create questions, like does she like me or am I just guessing?

These guesses add on from building to building, higher learning becomes your final 4 years in the system. Your wisdom is growing yet still stubborn to certain ways. You make your way through this last maze and the first day you were dazed. But when you're out and feel like you have wings, once you fly, you fly together with others who've obtained wings.

They say that birds flock together in order to survive. But what do you do when you end up at a place together to when you know how to fly? The first day of college is the first step in getting higher, the first day that inspires, and the last day that is still dire.

But through these stages there's always a first, and from beggining to end, the journey is unrehearesd.

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.
