What It's Like to Retake A Class

And Succeed The Second Go Round

What It's Like to Retake A Class

You put your heart and soul into a class but maybe a little too late and this equals failing said class. According to the University it is passing, BUT when further looked into it isn't considered acceptable for your major. For a class that you already struggled with, effort isn't there anymore. You stop caring what grades you get in said class and you understand there isn't anything to do to help. While this is disheartening at least you can focus more on other classes. That was round one!

You accept your fate and you failed the class

While you never wish to see this forsaken class again, it is required for your major, (even though you'll never use this info in your life again), you must retake it, tears!

Round two: You go into the class with high expectations that this time around you'll get an A, you'll do extra questions, you'll reread all the notes from the class after each class even when it is an everyday class, you'll get a tutor, make sure you'll go to office hours and with high hopes wish to get it over with. Well in a perfect world, you'll do all those things but that isn't always how it pans out; other classes take up more time, work schedule, family time and friends plus just not wanting to put that much work into a class.

You end up going to ever class but two, you never work extra questions but you do try paying even more attention, more than you wish to and you end up with a B, not the A you initially worked for but at least this time you succeeded!

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.
