Reflecting On This Semester

Take the leap because you never know where you will land.

Reflecting On This Semester

Have you ever met someone and you just clicked? You knew that you would be in each other's lives for a long time, be there for each other and help each other through most things? I feel like that is what college does. College throws you into this group of people and you know that you all are going to be best friends for a very long time.

When I first made friends here at school I was torn between the "me" that was safe or the "me" that was going to actually take the jump and go and do what I wanted. I had the group of people that I felt I would mesh well with or the group that my roommate was going toward...I was torn but I did what I didn't think I would do: I took the leap.

I decided to not take the safe road. I became friends with one of the guys in my dad's old social club here and began getting to know all of them. I made friends with the swimmers and I ended up falling for the blue eyed red headed ΣΑΣ that my dad had introduced me to.

While I'm looking back on this crazy first semester I just realize how amazing it is to find your people. I have some of the greatest friends and my am I thankful for that.

So as finals start and everything begins getting crazy just remember that your friends are still there for you. Don't let your stress push the people closest to you away.

Happy finals!

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.
