Here's To New Beginnings

See ya later, 2017-18 school year.

Here's To New Beginnings
me

The time of year has come yet again. It always does. The feelings mixed: fear, excited, confusion, whatever it may be,

Endings are hard.

I for one did not realize the comfort I have reached at my university and now feel a rush of fear due to my new beginning. However, so many people are in my boat.

What we are all fearing, the unknown.

All of these emotions natural of course, but to add to it, the emotions we have about what we are leaving behind.

The school year, the life we lived routinely, and everything that came with that. The decisions that some did and did not define us, the information learned and stored to better us, and the every day doings that are going on a brief hold for something else.

Every ending is a new beginning.

Everything going to happen in your life has probably not even happened yet. Scary right? Wrong. Exciting.

This is just the start.

Leaving what you know is always going to hard but we can never grow and learn if we don't leave what we know.

Although this school year and everything that came with it is over, tomorrow marks a new day. Maybe the best day, maybe the worst. However, new.

Tomorrow marks the next day of the rest of your life.

So inhale the good and exhale the bad. Remember the good memories and keep them with you as you start to create new good memories.

Remember, summer is short. You will be back before you know it.

The question is.. where is back? Old or new.

The ending is just a new beginning.

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.
