We Are Here To Get The Interview
https://www.theengineer.co.uk/

So today I was sitting in class, and the teacher asked some question at this moment I can't remember what the question was, but it had something to do with college. The room is silent nobody answering which okay I get nobody wants to answer her question, but one kid does and his answer goes somewhat like this "we really only go to college to get an interview" it was a little more than that, but you get the idea. This got me thinking I have never looked at college that way before, I have always viewed college as just school something that I am going to get a degree from and then move on with my life and make a career. But this kid was right if we ask why do we go to college? most people will probably give you the answer I just gave you. We go to college because we know after four years we will have a degree that we can show a new employer and say look what I have. I will fully agree that we are going to college for the degree because why else would we pull all-nighters and leave a project to the last minute? Without realizing it though we are going for more than just a degree, we are here to get that interview that one step up that will put us above everybody else. We are going for that goal that we have been thinking about since we stepped foot on campus. We strive to get that one simple interview that will make our career, so yes we are here for the degree, but we are also here for the interview.

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.
