Freshman Year

First week of freshman year: Alright, this is it. I am in college. I will be responsible. I will do all my homework. I will go to every single on of my classes. I will work out. And I will have a healthy social life.

A month into it: Ugh, I missed my 8 a.m. for like the twentieth time this semester. AM I SERIOUSLY FAILING THIS CLASS?? WHAT DID I DO WRONG? Oh, right.... I never went to class.

College (or life) never goes the way you plan it. You party way too much and sleep in even more. Everything is out of whack because you are in control. And if you choose to mess up, you get to. Because your parents aren't there to punish you.

Maybe you end up on academic probation, so you promise yourself to be better the next year.

Sophomore Year

You know how you made that promise to do better? JUST KIDDING. You kinda do it. You still party way too much, you stay up way too late and miss class far too often. But it's good, your GPA is looking good. You got this!

Junior Year

This is the year you kind of have to become an adult, even though you don't feel like it. You feel the pressure of the real world coming at you but you don't really know what to do. Your resume doesn't fill up to half the page! So you start to stress out about getting a job after graduation and paying off your loans. About 69% of you wants to quit and hide from the government because... loans.

Senior Year

Oh no! It's almost time for graduation! You kind of never want to graduate but on the other end, you can't wait to get f**k out of this town. You have work, internships, applications, and just life in general... but no time to relax. You think to yourself, "Is this what rest of my life will be like from now on?". But it's okay because you're about to graaaaadduuuuaaateeee!

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.
