What Has College Done To Me?

A poem about my perspective on college so far.

What Has College Done To Me?
VeryWell

I’ve stayed up late, without any sleep at all.

I’ve shampooed my hair and watched clumps fall.

The books I carry weight a ton,

I thought college was supposed to be “fun.”

If you miss three classes you’re a failure,

Well there goes my nursing major.

In college there are no games,

Professors don’t care about your name.

Your motivation starts to drain,

Along with your mushed up brain.

I find that I can fall asleep quick,

All this school work makes me sick.

I thought high school was a drag,

Till I got to college and became a crab.

I hate to go out when I’m not at school,

Because I’d rather be sleeping to regain fuel.

I don’t have time to watch my shows,

Damn, college blows.

I wish I could say college was my thing,

But I’d rather wear Hugh Heffner’s ring.

But since I’m forced to be grown,

I’ll have to deal with college on my own.

In four years, I wonder where I’ll be,

What has college done to me?

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.
