Goodbye, Summer

The end's not near, it's here.

Goodbye, Summer
Ajeetej S Rai

Let the semester begin.

This summer has been the summer where I started to fall in love with myself. For me this was the main purpose of summer 2016. I wanted to be able to look in the mirror and forgive myself for the mistakes I made, the people I hurt and then start over. With time I began to do that. It took time and a lot of effort. This effort I put in was the hardest thing I could do, it was the most time consuming and sometimes the saddest thing.

With every moment I spent thinking there seemed to be an emotional rollercoaster that came with it. I began to realize that this was the most normal thing that could have happened. This rollercoaster of emotions was the one thing that taught me that I need to be strong headed.

To be the best I could be I needed a distraction… something that would help me learn from my mistakes. I got that experiences this summer form my internship and the people I met. Then later on I started to realize that this was what I wanted to do… I wanted to be the person to help people who needed help.

As the clocked ticked and the summer comes to and end I realized that I am truly thankful for what happened this summer. I am thankful for all the new friends I made, and the friendships that continue to prosper. However, with that being said there were a few friendships I wish didn’t end and they did but that happens once you learn more about yourself and who your friends are.

This school year I have determined is going to be one of the best school years I have. Every moment this semester has to be best that they can be. Every moment I spend I want to spend improving myself and helping people around me.

In this semester I want to be the person who learns more about himself and gains the knowledge that he needs to gains in order to be better.

So I have been counting down the days one day at a time this summer and now I am counting down the hours until I get to pack up and leave. With each hour I get more and more nervous, with each hour I am feeling different emotions…. From happiness to sadness.

Each semester has been a struggle for me and now for the first time in my college career I feel very excited to restart and begin my adventure learning more a about my major and learning more about my friends.

I think that every person should enjoy this year and for those in m graduating class in high school good luck were almost done with college!

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.
