An Open Letter To The Class I Hate

I don't actually hate you.

I've always known I was going to go to college. And I've always wanted to get a quality education.

But this is not what I pictured.

To graduate from my, and most other, Universities and Colleges, you must complete a certain amount of undergrad classes. Yes yes, we all know this. But I had no idea what types of classes would be in these lists to chose from.

I have never had a problem in school. I've typically enjoyed my time in my classes. So I never, in a million years, thought about these classes that I would be forced to chose from.

I browsed this section of the list carefully and with one eye closed, hoping then, just maybe, the courses would disappear. I took music in high school, I barely passed the final because I can't play a recorder to save my life. The last time I took an art class was in 5th grade.. seriously. I am the least artsy person you will ever meet.

Science is my strong suit and always has been so straying away from that felt like I was cheating on my favorite subject.

However, junior year of high school, my friends and I went to the art museum in Saint Louis. Mostly because that is what everyone did, so of course we had to as well.

I enjoyed our time at the art museum. I felt butterflies in my stomach when looking at a painting so large you needed to stand on the other side of the room just to get the full picture. I really enjoyed this "thing" that I had never seen before.

So when looking through the list, art history left the least bitter taste in my mouth. I went for it and I have never looked back. I feel very out of place in my class, simply because I lack the same vocabulary that 95% of the class has.

I find this class to be extremely interesting and eye-opening, especially for someone who has never been very interested in the arts.

Everyone always says that college is the time to take the class that interests you but is outside your major. And I fully support this idea. I thoroughly enjoy my art class even if it's not biology.

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.
