It has only been about a semester and a half, but the amount of people I have met and become closer to is somewhat amazing. I consider myself an introverted person who wouldn’t leave my room unless I had class or something planned beforehand. I liked having a schedule and if something popped up out of nowhere I felt thrown off and panicked. Now though, I have been able to adjust and stay calm, and that’s because of the friends I have made.

I’m not going to lie, the majority of people I have met is because of my roommate, she has really pushed me and made me go out with new people and join organizations I never thought I would. So, I definitely thank her for that.

What amazes me the most about college and the people I find myself spending most of my time with, is that I went to high school with a majority of them. We all came from different walks of life but have joined to be a group of people that I really enjoy being around. There are so many things that change between high school and college and we don’t have to pretend to like people and we get to be with the people we want to be around.

I’m still figuring out my niche, but having people to fall back on is something I really find amazing. Everyone is so supportive and understanding of my crazy rambling that doesn’t always make sense. Also, I always know that when I’m around them, I will laugh, without a doubt. No matter how stressed or tired we are there is always someone with a quick joke or story that keeps us up. So, thank you to the friends I have made and will continue to make as college goes on, I know that there are so many more experiences to have and I can’t wait.

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.
