Now that my first year of college is done and over, I’ve come to known myself a lot better.

They say that college is the place where you try to find yourself. The place where you will experience many, many things that’ll hopefully make you mature.

I have definitely learned a lot this year about many things and I have definitely experienced many things this year.

I’m pretty sure I can speak for myself and most for my friends at my college this first year has impacted all of us in very different ways.

The first year can be stressful for all of us, living away from home, dating, adjusting to the schoolwork and cocky professors that don’t know how to teach.

Whether your staying at the college you chose or you are transferring out or you just think college is not for you, events in your life happened to make you decide these things. And these events have made you learn from your mistakes or the greatest decision in your life.

In this year, I’ve learned who are the people who turned out to be my closest friends in college and who turned out to be flaky friends even if it wasn’t towards me per say but to a very close friend of mines.

With dating, GOD have I learned a lot about dating and men. And it has been a great experience with men even though most of them sucked and I’m pretty sure there will be a lot more that will suck. But I have a feeling that there will be a lot more good experiences with dating. I hope that’s the case for everyone that is open to dating.

Classes and schoolwork have absolutely changed my life. Not really the class work but it’s a specific professors and science class that made me fall deeper in love with biology and how I’m glad I’m going through the Pre-medicine track.

This year I have decided to also take a summer class and get ahead in my major. Although I would like to have my summer free, I know taking this class will help me in the long run.

I hope other college students first year has taught them as well. They can live and learn and hopefully can accept the choices they have made whether good or bad and learn from them. Maybe make them better or change the choices completely.

I hope I can learn much more in my second year

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
