Unfortunately, Time Really Does Fly

Life goes by in the blink of an eye.

Everyone knows the typical line: “Time flies when you're having fun."

Well, unfortunately, it’s an accurate statement. It’s honestly pretty crazy how fast time flies. You grow up, get older and move onto bigger and better things pretty quickly.

As I finish up my sophomore year of college, it is really hitting me hard that I am halfway done with my college experience and I am this much closer to the “real world.” It feels like just yesterday I was reading for the first time in my kindergarten class or working on my California mission project in the fourth grade.

It seems like I was just a young girl heading to my high school freshman orientation, not knowing the difference from the B Building to the G Building or if I was supposed to go to first lunch or second lunch. It feels like yesterday I was making the decision of a lifetime and deciding upon TCU.

Time really does fly by.

Everyone told me your high school and college years fly by. They were going to go by in a blink of an eye, but I didn’t believe it. Well, until now.

I know I don’t want to be in college forever, but right now it feels like the real word is coming just a little too quickly. Soon, my best friends won’t live right next door. They’ll be in a different city, or most likely, a different state. As much as we want to, we can't control the hands on the clock.

As time goes on, we are always going to make new memories we will never forget. However, we are also only in a small portion of our life right now. The real world lies ahead of us.

Before we know it, we’ll be getting new jobs, finding our soul mates, getting married, buying our first house, starting a family and sending our own kids off to college.

So, as time is flying by, and I'm shocked I only have three semesters left in Fort Worth (and one abroad), I need to remember this: I will make the most of it. Because, unfortunately, time flies when you’re having fun.

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.
