I’m Transferring To The School I Swore I'd Never Go To

Two schools, two different paths, which one to choose?

As many of you may know, I left the university that I started at and am now taking courses in my hometown to get caught back up with transferable credits so that I could eventually transfer back into another university.

Since the beginning of November, I had narrowed my options down to two schools. One, I didn't want to go to at all, but it was good for my major, I had friends and it was an amazing school in general. The other was close to home and good for my major, and, for a while, I was leaning very heavily on going to this one.

I had made my decision on going to my second option up until the signs started pointing me in a different direction, to the school I didn't want to go to.

After a while, everything fell into place and I realized that the first school was the place that God was calling me to be and that school would be known as Texas A&M University.

I had always known of their rich traditions and the love that each student, alumni and fan has for the school, but I didn't truly understand it until I visited for the first time as a college student.

I was enthralled with the energy that engulfed the city and noticed how the university fosters a hard-work ethic in each of the students.

I went to visit friends at the end of January, and that trip is when I made my official decision to transfer there. I got a taste of the school's Christian circle, and that's what ultimately made the decision for me.

I know other schools have opportunities for Christians too, but there was something different about TAMU. Something that continued to capture my attention even after I had left

Like I stated earlier, I didn't want to go to school at A&M. Ever since I was little I had zero desire, partly because I was born and raised a Longhorn (sorry dad.) Even when I realized that A&M was an option, I still didn't want to go, but God changes plans and perspectives.

For those of you who are reading this and are either trying to figure out where to go to school or transferring like me, the biggest thing that I learned from this process is to have faith.

God works in some weird ways, but it will ultimately make you a better and stronger person and change your future for the better. Trust the process and have faith in where God is calling you.

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.
