Why College Is So Important

College is so stressful and hard, but it will totally pay off one day!

College can be such a fun experience. Some people think college is not a necessity, which it is not, but personally, I think having a degree is a good thing to have for anyone. College is not made for everyone, but you will make countless memories and valuable friendships if you do decide to go.

College is a place to learn but you can also have fun while doing it. You will make new friends that will continue to be around forever. College is a time where usually it is the first time you are on your own, so make it count and always learn from your mistakes.

College is very important to some people. As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to attend college. I have always wanted the accomplishment of completing a degree and graduating from a university. It has always been important to me because my mom has always pushed the importance of having a degree.

College is important because with a degree (usually) it can be easier to get a job. Some jobs you cannot even get if you have not graduated from college. It can be very important to go to college for your future but not everyone has to. People still do get jobs and make it in this world without a college degree.

A college degree is good to have for many jobs. It can set a good impression for you in any interview because going through college is extremely hard. It can be very stressful because you are on your own. Usually, most college students have a job or even jobs.

Being a full-time college student and working another job can be a huge challenge for anyone. If you go through college and graduate, then that is a huge accomplishment. College can be hard as well as expensive, but in the end, you will gain so much more knowledge, great life experience, and even better memories.

College for me has been such a fun experience. I am only a freshman at Jacksonville State, but I have loved every minute of college so far. It has been very hard at times, but I would not trade it for anything. I have made some great friends through classes that I will forever stay in contact with.

I will always be proud of myself for taking this leap of going to college and maintaining two part-time jobs. College has been fun, and I will continue to gain knowledge, friends, and memories. I cannot wait to finally cross the finish line and have that degree in my hand; I might have a while to go, but it will be here sooner than later.

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.
